Model Airplanes

BOSTON, February 3, 2017 – Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk, mascot “Lucky” the Leprechaun and JetBlue crewmembers s visited students at Winthrop Middle School as part of the launch of the new aviation program, “JetBlue Rookie Flight Crew.”

“I had a great time building model airplanes with the students,” Boston Celtics Forward Kelly Olynyk said. “The students were excited to work on their aviation projects which was great! I can’t wait to see what their planes will look at the end of this program”.

“We are excited to partner with the Boston Celtics to encourage STEM education,” said Ronda McLeod, manager regional marketing, JetBlue. “The biggest hurdle to a career in aviation is limited access. Through various education partnerships and our company sponsored foundation, JetBlue is working to eliminate barriers and encouraging excitement around STEM education as early as possible in student’s academic careers.”

The “JetBlue Rookie Flight Crew” was challenged to work through a STEM Curriculum where they learned how to build a fully functioning model plane. Over the course of (4) weeks JetBlue Crew Members will visit the Rookie Crew to check on their progress and give their insight into the aviation careers. Upon completion of the program, students will compete in an obstacle course utilizing all they have learned over the course of the curriculum to see if their planes have what it takes to be an All Star.

RED HOOK The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome has been chosen as one of seven locations in the U.S. and Canada for FlipKey by TripAdvisor’s “Ultimate Adventure Bucket List for Travelers.”

The online review recommends, “Not only if you’re in the area, but this place is worth a special trip for the weekend airshows! Besides hangars full of aircraft from before the Lindbergh flight, they have actual World War I aircraft and others that take to the skies! Those pilots are fearless! Check the website for schedules as it is seasonal, but do not miss this treasure!”

The Bucket List is available on the Aerodrome website at oldrhinebeck.org.

“You’ll find that classic ‘Main Street USA’ atmosphere in the small Hudson River town of Red Hook,” TripAdvisor adds. “Stop in for a quiet autumn weekend to pick apples or shop at an authentic farmers’ market. … (T)our the historic Montgomery Place during your visit, too.”

Since the moment This Is Us revealed superdad Jack was not alive in the present, fans have been trying to figure out what happened to the beloved character. Now Tumblr, via Buzzfeed, has unearthed the most troubling theory about This Is Us‘ Jack’s death yet. Did the Pearson family patriarch die during the 9/11 attacks? Some fans believe the Big Three’s plane fixation points to yes.

Before you start sobbing, there are a few things to consider. The most recent episode of the NBC tearjerker revealed Kate, Kevin, and Randall were teenagers at the time of their father’s passing. That’s not exactly a specific date, but since the kids were born in 1980, that means they lost their father roughly sometime between 1994 and 2000 — unless the show was being sneaky about the age range of The Big Three during the funeral scene. Doing the math, that means Jack most likely died before 2001.

Still, that doesn’t explain the recurring theme of planes throughout Season 1. Both Kate and Kevin appear to be nervous about flying. Meanwhile, Kevin destroyed all of his model airplanes at some point in his childhood. The Pearson family is anti-plane for some reason, and if their father was on one of the doomed flights during the 9/11 terror attacks it would explain why air travel stirs up so much anger and fear in them.

Tying the loss of Jack to the 9/11 attacks
