Another part of our homeschooling life is that we are part of a group called KLASS which just meets up monthly to go on field trips. This month we got to go to the Purdue Aviation Center.
Levi was able to come along with us! Which really helped because it ended up being really windy/cold and we had to walk outside for most of it.

| We got to learn all about Amelia Earhart and how her last flight was from Purdue and when they discover pieces of her plane they get sent back to Purdue.
Earhart returned to Purdue in the fall of 1936. Purdue Research Foundation funds, Purdue aviation expertise and the university's airport all played roles in her final 1937 world flight in a Lockheed "Electra" plane.
Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared in flight near the equator in the southwest Pacific on July 2, 1937.
