NASA’s interns get to fly a jet!
The Forgotten Heroes Foundation had the pleasure of hosting 2 of NASA’s best summer interns of 2023 at our hangar! Kim and Anthony demonstrated a brillant understanding for aeronautical sciences and mathematics and we wanted to rewards their hard work with some informal hands-on STEM learning!
