Missouri Wing Flies Local Teacher

2d Lt. Beth Campbell of Missouri Wing's Gateway Senior Squadron recently flew Andy Wenger, a technology and engineering teacher at Truman Middle School in the Lindbergh School District, as part of Civil Air Patrol’s Teacher Orientation Program (TOP).

TOP flights typically include a pre-flight briefing explaining the parts and purposes of the airplane and an actual airplane flight with the teacher often given the opportunity to take the controls in the front seat to connect aviation principles with school curriculum to share with students. Missouri Wing aerospace education members (AEMs), or squadron members who are educators, are eligible for TOP flights.
