Aviation Merit Badge

Thanks to the efforts of Bob Ledinsky, 14 scouts had the opportunity to earn Aviation Merit Badge in July.

This was no ordinary trip to the merit badge counselor. The were able to complete the requirements for the badge including a flight check Saturday then attend the Lorain County Air Show Sunday after an overnight camp at the airport.

A big thanks to Mr. Ledinsky and all his pilot friends who donated their time and aircraft.

It's always a good idea to fuel the aircraft before
attempting to fly it.
