This evening 120453 became an airplane! It broke the surly bonds and flew as designed, no heavy wing or anything. The RV-12 was built by students at Jennings Co. High School (where other students built the first Eagle's Nest plane.) The kids did a wonderful job and four of them are well along in getting their PPLs. Three have passed their written and are scheduling check rides. We are quite proud of our students and they are well on their way to becoming fine aviation professionals. We have at least 27 students (some on other projects in other states) working on their licenses. If you would like to pass on some of what aviation has done for you, consider starting an AviationNation project in your school system. Let us know.

That is really cool. I wish I would have had that type of opportunity when I was in High school. Congrats to you and the students!
