About 60 students had the opportunity to spend their Saturday learning all about aviation and aerospace in the first-ever “Aerospace Day” at Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport.
In August, Lee Giat drove to South Florida to see the plane he’s calling the “Spirit of Science for the first time.
Giat, a 22-year-old graduate of the University of North Florida, went with a documentary crew to film a crowdfunding video for his latest project an ambitious adventure that involves flying a single-engine plane from Jacksonville to South America, landing at numerous spots during a 30-day journey, delivering educational supplies and inspiration to children.
While back in South Florida, where he grew up, Giat stayed with his dad.
He resisted the temptation to tell his father, the man who taught him how to fly, about the big plans for the Spirit of Science. He figured he’d make it a surprise when he unveiled the project a few weeks later.
