OCEAN CITY, Md. – Pilots in training at the Ocean Aviation Flight Academy are taking flight, but not in the sky.
“You’ll have the experience of actually flying in a real airplane, it’s as realistic as it gets,” Mike Freed, President and CEO of the academy, said.
He’s talking about getting that experience in a brand new, very realistic flight simulator.
“It lets us practice at things we might not do in an airplane, so we can take scenarios further along than we would when you’re learning to fly,” he explained.
Good Morning Delmarva anchor Deana Harley and Meteorologist Sloane Haines were lucky enough to have the chance to be pilots for the day, and got to experience all kinds of situations that a pilot may encounter while flying. You can experience bumpy turbulence, a thunderstorm, a snow storm, even potential engine failure. For the students training to get their time in the sky, being able to prepare for these situations is priceless.

OCEAN CITY, Md. Businesses at the beaches in Maryland and Delaware need vacationers to survive, but this summer some businesses in Ocean City hope a certain visitor doesn t have any plans to visit.
That visitor would be President Joe Biden.
Biden owns a vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and is known to visit the residence from time-to-time.
If Biden stayed at his Rehoboth home, a temporary flight restriction would be issued, according to Ocean City Airport manager Jaime Giandomenico. The TFR would create a 30-mile wide circle of restricted airspace stretching from as far south as Ocean City, Maryland, to as far north as Ocean City, New Jersey.

A TFR would also ground skydiving, banner-towing and sightseeing businesses in Ocean City. Aviation businesses operate on razor-thin profit margins and after enduring severe losses last year due to COVID-19, these attractions are in desperate need of a strong summer. Biden s presence in Rehoboth Beach could jeopardize all that.
