Ed ucation
is an important community service of the Airport.
There are many careers available in aviation -
commercial, private, and military - and local
children and teachers enjoy the opportunity to
reinforce math, science, and English skills as
they learn the basics of flight. Many of these
activities involve participation by the National
Guard, Boy Scouts, Experimental Aircraft
Association, AOPA, and others.
 The
following programs are available through the
Lawrenceburg/Lawrence County Airport:
Children's Programs
- for each age group, simulating
the flight experience
for small children - including weather checks,
safety, and more.
Aviation Explorer Group - The
Explorer Post 263 is a branch of the Boy Scouts.
It is open to both male and female high
school-age students. The meetings teach the
basics of aerodynamics and flight; they also
help with career planning. Students go to air
shows and on field trips. Pilots and other
aviation groups participate in this endeavor.
Care er
Fair - Giving 8th grade students an
opportunity to ask experts in aviation about
scholarships and careers available in this
exciting and growing field. Students talk with
pilots - commercial,
private, and military - plus air traffic
controllers, airport managers, and more flight
professionals. Many displays are available.
School
Education - Working with area school
teachers to
 illustrate
how aviation uses math, science,
English/reading, and other
skills - while introducing children to the
basics of aerodynamics and flight.
Young
Eagles - A program established by the
Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to
introduce children ages 8 - 17 (including
handicapped) to the world of aviation.
Youngsters learn about flight procedures, take a
flight with an experienced pilot, ask questions
about aviation, and learn about scholarships and
careers in aviation. Each student receives a
certificate, and students' names go into the
world's largest log book.
We are always adding new activities for the
community. Please call Faye Green for more
