Aim High Youth Day Events:
John Klatt,
an acrobatic pilot, will be there in his full gear ensemble and with a display to
talk about acrobatic flying. A member of

navigate using GPS equipment. The

the different life support equipment aircrews use in flight and demonstrate how
they function. At another station the
youth will be able to create cards that will be mailed to airmen deployed
overseas. UNH Cooperative Extension will
have a station where they can create model airplanes out of balsa wood.
