TEENS-IN-FLIGHT AVIATION SUMMER CAMP
TEENS-IN-FLIGHT IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR PLANS FOR EXPANSION THROUGHOUT THE NATION. OUR EXPANSION IS DIRECTED TO, AND AROUND, MILITARY INSTALLATIONS TO BETTER SERVE THE CHILDREN OF THE SERVICE MEMBERS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIFE IN THE WAR ON TERROR IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. TEENS-IN-FLIGHT ANTICIPATES OUR PROGRAMS AT FORT BRAGG, NC, CAMP LEJUNE, NC, FORT HOOD, TX AND FORT BLISS, TX THIS YEAR. PROGRAM EXPANSION COULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT OUR BENEFACTORS, THE FAA, AND THE STEPHEN M. PRICE FOUNDATION . THIS IS OUR EFFORT TO HELP THESE FAMILIES BEGIN THE HEALING PROCESS AND TO SHOW OUR APPRECIATION TO OUR ARMED FORCES MEMBERS WHO HAVE SACRIFICED ALL FOR OUR FREEDOM.
TEENS-IN-FLIGHT ALSO HAS FLIGHT ORIENTATION PROGRAMS FOR THOSE TEENS OF FALLEN WARRIORS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.

After the first flight.
Touching Heaven's Floor
By: Jessica MonkhouseWill I get sick? I hope nothing bad happens" This is what I was thinking before we took off. I wasn't feeling just one emotion. It was more like a little of everything. I felt proud, happy, and anger the most. I used to have the most of the common of all fears; fear of heights and flying. Well, 1 am so proud of myself because I overcame both in one shot or in other words I killed two birds with one stone. I also didn't get sick. Most people I know get sick their first flight. This leads to my next emotion; happiness. Do you know the good, warm, happy feeling you get when you are at home and comfortable somewhere? That's how I felt in the sky. I felt like I belonged. I was so comfortable in that atmosphere that I couldn't stop smiling. That is so uncommon for me. I couldn't believe how much we take for granted. I realized this when I saw the reds, yellows, and blues, pinks and purples of the sunset. It was so beautiful. I was amazed at how things looked 3000 feet up. Just seeing the beauty of it, made me glad that I was alive. My happiness made me feel a great amount of eagerness. On Thursday, the next day, I was so exited to tell everyone about my experience. I was so exited to be able to tell everyone about my flight. What surprised me the most was when they actually wanted to hear my story. My eagerness led me to beg Col. Howell to let me go up again. Well I guess all of my eagerness and excitement really paid off. I am so glad that I decided to come to Ribault because I wouldn't have had this chance. This chance to peruse my life's goal. I love flying so much that I am willing to travel one hour every day to come to school. I only wish I could put on this paper every thought, feeling and sight when I touched heaven's floor.
