The journey began with a flight from Beverly Airport to Bangor International Airport. From there, the teachers boarded four planes in sets of two and fl ew northeast and then due west along the line of totality. At approximately 8,000 feet, Morrissey and Plotnick enjoyed unforgettable views of the total eclipse. “The entire horizon for 360 degrees looked like dawn with orange skies and darkness all around,” Plotnick said. “Jupiter, which would normally be obscured by the sun’s brightness, appeared as a very bright star just a bit below the sun from our viewpoint.” The EHS duo was fl own by pilot Charles Dale, who skillfully maneuvered a Cessna 182 through a series of 360-degree turns and banks, giving his passengers views of the eclipse from various angles. Dale is an Air Force ROTC graduate currently employed as a systems engineer for the Air Force. The CAP education program provides professional education for its members. Teachers can join for a modest one-time fee that renews at no charge every year. CAP provides free STEM resources to teachers, including a robotics program currently being utilized by Plotnick’s students.
