Youth in Aviation, a positive story from Pilots of America Message Board by Diana
My nephew Logan made this video for a school contest, called Reflections, which invited students to be creative in the arts, on a specific theme. The theme this year was "Beauty is....." Students were encouraged to express their creativity by creating pieces of visual art, taking photographs, writing stories or poems, performing original music pieces, dance choreography, and film and video production. Logan's video won first place (in a school of over 800 kids) in the film/video production category. Logan was 13 when he made this video a few months ago. He filmed the video shots in the airplane when I took him (and also his twin sister, Elizabeth) for aerobatic rides at our family Thanksgiving gathering at the farm, and he created this video. Elizabeth was the video narrator for the poem that he wrote.
