Forty-two Pryor High School Aviation students attended the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission Student Flight Day at the Tulsa International Airport. This is the second year for this event and this year around 1,000 students from across the state were in attendance.
Tami Rowland, Pryor High School Aviation I teacher, said, "The event was well organized and our students really enjoyed seeing the F-16 and the photo booth area at the Air National Guard Rotation. There were quite a few post-secondary institutions available to answer student questions about opportunities and requirements for pathways into aviation after high school."
Sean Manes, with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spoke to our Aviation classes today about how they utilize UAS daily. He brought some “cool toys” for our students to see. The Autel Dragonfish was a big hit with students and surveillance videos were amazing. He brought three drones for the students to see:
- DJI Mavic Mini
- DJI Matrice 300
- Autel Dragonfish
It was interesting to hear how each drone is used differently depending the specific situation that they may encounter or based on the type of surveillance they are performing.
