The Home Page Network

Today on Wellsboro Home Page we pay a visit to the Wellsboro Johnston Airport to gather information on their Aviation Camp. Flight Instructor and Airport Manager Craig Musser stated that the airport began this program because it was looking for a way to get young people involved in aviation. The camp gives high school age students the opportunity to take to the skies and learn about the field of aviation. This June’s Aviation Camp had students attending from Wellsboro, Liberty, Coudersport, Galeton.

Home Page corespondent, Morgan Koziar visited with Mr. Musser and talked with the students about their experience. The students attending the camp were exposed to several opportunities in aviation, both careers and as a hobby.

The students also visited other airports and aviation museums in addition to the Pennsylvania College of Technology’s aviation maintenance center. Here they received a well-rounded exposure to aviation and an hour of actual flight instruction.

The second half of today’s broadcast features the students as they share about their experience at Aviation Camp.

If you are interested in attending Aviation Camp or if you would like information on how your organization can co-sponsor a camp, please call the Wellsboro Johnston Airport at (570) 724-3746.

Thanks for watching and fly safely.
