Several flight demonstrations were
provided by a group of local pilots. The
Massachusetts Aeronautics Commis-
sion and the FAA provided flight sim-
ulators for the public to use. Members
of the New Bedford Regional Pilots As-
sociation sponsored airplane rides for a
small fee. In addition, Ryan Rotors and
HeliOps of Plymouth, Massachusetts
(KPYM), sponsored helicopter rides for
the public. Some of the display aircraft
included: Beechjet 400, 1958 SNJ, Coast
Guard Falcon Jet, amphibious aircraft,
homebuilts, ultralights.

icated to empowering minority youth
through education and training.

take some students, from six to 16, on
an educational excursion to the Murtala
Muhammed Airport, in Lagos, Nigeria.
