PCToday Photo Gallery - Blackhawk Visit to Lumley Aviation Center

[Photo Gallery Archives]

Students from Pennsylvania College of Technology's Lumley Aviation Center got a close-up look at a Blackhawk helicopter on March 3, as the Pennsylvania National Guard visited the Williamsport Regional Airport in Montoursville. Local recruiters, as well as two pilots and two crew chiefs from Fort Indiantown Gap, met inside with students some of whom are active Guard members prior to their tour of the 10-ton aircraft.
