MSMS students, led by World War II course instructor Julie Heintz, went to Lowndes County Airport on Feb. 20 to see examples of aircraft from the time period.

Students clustered around to hear about the history behind the WWII-era machinery.

Six planes were on the tarmac for viewing and pilots shared brief information about the aircraft and its specifications. This short field trip allowed students to see in person some of the machinery from their textbooks, notes and in-class films.

Some parents and MSMS math instructor Lauren Zarandona and her two sons also attended the aircraft showcase.
