Ten teens were introduced to Missionary Aviation at Baptist Park’s Flight Camp from June 27 through July 2. They learned about aviation through lessons on the ground as well as accruing actual flight time. The teens were in the capable hands of volunteer pilots Bob Besaw, Jason Tuck, Gary Baer and Ted Fraser. The students also learned how aviation helps missionaries serve others around the world. The campers and possible future pilots came from Presque Isle, Caribou, Fort Fairfield, Wade, Columbia Falls, Harpswell, Bridgton, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
