Retired Chief Warrant Officer 5 Master Aviator Brian McGlone serves as the aviation instructor for Air Academy High School in District 20, which currently has 97 students in its program.
Four junior students participated in a glider flight at Meadow Lake Airport, where they were shown ailerons, instrumentation and basic flight checklists before being tethered to a tow plane; the glider lifted off, was later untethered, and the students practiced intentional stalls before completing a 20‑minute flight that ended with a rugged landing.
