felt like I needed a break from all of this chaos here. I just need to get away from everything. So, the next morning I booked my flight to Jamaica. The sound of the wheels on my suitcase ringed in my ears. I can’t believe I’m finally getting to go. It seems like it was forever ago that I had booked my flight when it was only last week. As I got aboard the plane the flight attendant asked if I wanted anything and I shook my head no. I found my seat in first class and sat down. I jumped out of…

One activity is the paper airplane caper. This is a little activity that is fun and you learn new things about friends. What you do is write five facts about yourself on a piece of paper. Then you make a paper airplane with the paper you write the facts on. Then as a group you throw the paper airplane a around the room. When everyone is done throwing their airplane you pick up one you find on the ground. You read it one by one and try to guess who wrote it. As a group you find out new things…
doing my project and research on how far you can get an airplane to go. There are many possible ways to improve the airplane's flight length. In the next paragraphs or topics, I will be discussing how there are multiple ways to improve the flight length. We want the planes to fly as far as they can. Problem:…
Since the first flight in 1903 by the Wright Brothers, the aviation industry has consistently been advancing. Whether it was for commercial, private, or military use the main goal has been to produce the most technological advanced, fuel efficient, and fastest aircraft possible. The Douglas DC-3 is widely known as the plane that changed the world, and this aircraft has always stood out among others. The DC-3, first flown in 1935, was a low-wing twin-engine monoplane that was the world’s first…
Journal Entry 1: The GREEN HORNET has just gone down. I can't even fathom how it happened, something went wrong and Cuppernell and I were in switched positions. We couldn't save the plane, we're in the Pacific now. It's up to Louie, Mac, and me now. Louie and Mac sorted the supplies we have: -some coins -watches (that don't work) -flare gun -two canvas case air pumps -sea dye -half-pint tins of water -a brass mirror -set of pliers with a built-in screwdriver -spool of fishing line -set of…

I go through and…
Before the devastating crash of Airline flight 4055, a series of events occurred leading to the murder of Janice Denver. The late night flight from Chicago to Los Angeles left with Dean Lipshine sitting next to the victim Janice Denver. Janice was unsuspecting to the events that would lead to the end of her life. She first sat down on the plane next to a seemly friendly man, Dean Lipshine. They made small talk, about how the terminal in the airport seemed like it could use some cleaning and…
The Decline of General Aviation Airports The Rise of General Aviation In the early days of aviation, aviators were limited to flying during daylight hours, in near ideal weather conditions. Early pilots were not regulated as they are today, and would take off and land their aircraft in any flat open area, often a farmer’s grassy field, which allowed them to choose their direction relative to the prevailing winds. As aviation grew, pilots began to congregate in common areas, which allowed for…
worldly or rational anxious so that he could be relieved of them. This would result in the figurative ability to flight which has alluded throughout the book in the form of the flying trope. In the end, Milkman achieves the capacity for flight when “he leaped” and “surrendered to the air” (Morrison 337). Moreover, Milkman could fly just as Solomon did but it was never a literal flight. He merely achieved what his grandfather had achieved which is the shedding of all his earthly…
