My name is Dan Howell and I am the

00:06.139 --> 00:08.430
aviation teacher at MRE High School in

00:08.439 --> 00:10.383
Montgomery County , Maryland . The

00:10.383 --> 00:12.439
program at our high school is a four

00:12.439 --> 00:14.661
year aviation program . We offer both a

00:14.661 --> 00:16.989
drone track and a pilot track to all of

00:17.000 --> 00:19.760
our students . So most of our students

00:19.770 --> 00:21.659
don't really have a background in

00:21.659 --> 00:23.770
aviation . You know , they don't have

00:23.770 --> 00:25.992
family members , they don't have anyone

00:25.992 --> 00:28.214
in the service . So this opportunity to

00:28.214 --> 00:30.190
get hands on experience with real

00:30.200 --> 00:32.144
aircraft and meeting the personnel

00:32.144 --> 00:34.144
working on the aircraft is a really

00:34.144 --> 00:36.680
unique opportunity for them to figure

00:36.689 --> 00:40.169
things out and get hands on

00:40.380 --> 00:42.810
experience with something we are only

00:42.819 --> 00:45.041
able to talk about in the classroom . I

00:45.041 --> 00:46.986
think that this is our fourth time

00:46.986 --> 00:49.380
coming to this particular base . I want

00:49.389 --> 00:52.290
to thank all the base personnel who

00:52.299 --> 00:54.132
made this happen . It's only our

00:54.132 --> 00:56.355
seventh year in the aviation program at

00:56.355 --> 00:58.577
Magruder High School , but we're really

00:58.577 --> 00:58.520
looking forward to continuing this

00:58.529 --> 00:59.290
relationship .
