Today was all about the behind-the-scenes world of aviation. First, we were off to the EWN Tower to discover how Air control (known to pilots as “tower” or “tower control”) is responsible for the active runway surfaces. Air control clears aircraft for takeoff or landing.
Then we had a tour of the maintenance hangar to see firsthand how the planes are kept in top shape. After lunch, we headed off to the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport- EWN where we were lucky to have Ed Martin, operations manager, give the campers some fascinating information on avionics AND back-stage tour of the facilities.
