CTE Corner: Flying Over Greece
Students in the Aviation CTE program at Garey High School recently took their learning to new heights using flight simulators to “travel” over Greece, spotting famous landmarks. This hands-on simulation gives students real-world experience in flight navigation, aircraft systems, and aviation decision-making—all while exploring global locations from the classroom. Thank you Mr. Kallas for allowing us to see the kids FLY HIGH.
Quick Fact: Flight simulators let students practice aviation skill s safely while building confidence for future careers in piloting, air traffic control, and aerospace technology.
