Lessons From The Cockpit - ALC Aviation
Uvu Aviation Fiona Silcox

On Friday, March 4th  the Private Pilot class enjoyed a visit from UVU assistant professor of aviation, Fiona Silcox.  She came to explain how the aviation program works at UVU and answer questions the students had about our concurrent enrollment class and the classes at UVU.  It was great to get information from the source for the students who want to continue their aviation careers through UVU.

On Tuesday, March 8th the Private Pilot class was privileged to hear from Lt Col (ret) Mark Hasara.  Lt Col Hasara has written a book called 'Lessons From The Cockpit' and has a podcast of the same name.  He wrote about his time in the Air Force as a KC-135 tanker pilot and the lessons he learned from the experiences he had.  He told the students some of the lessons and experiences from the book and answered questions about his experiences.  He also spoke to the Aviation History class about the Berlin Airlift and the Candy Bomber, Gail Halvorsen, since we are studying the Cold War currently. We really appreciate the time he spent with our aviation students.
