ELEMENTARY PHYSICS OF FLIGHT On March 9, first grade students received a special aviation lesson from Dr. Keith McDaniel, Shiloh’s Superintendent and Atlas Flight Commander of the 184th Attack Squadron in the U.S. Airforce, as a part of their Physics of Flight Unit. Dr. McDaniel explained and demonstrated the four fundamentals of flight (lift, thrust, weight, and drag) through an extension activity using a remote-controlled helicopter in the cafeteria meeting room. To the students' delight and surprise, a REAL helicopter from Arkansas Air Evac Life Team out of Springdale landed on the south lawn! They enjoyed seeing the helicopter and talking to the pilot.
