Snowbirds Visit Carman Collegiate

After a great fly over on June 3 by the Snowbirds, Carman Collegiate was pleased to welcome 1997 graduate Capt. Morgan Strachan back to Carman on Wednesday, June 4.  Capt. Strachan (Snowbird 9) presented to all our students with Snowbird 3 and a Snowbird Technician.  The members spoke of the need for skill, professionalism, and teamwork in their jobs and how these attributes transfer to all parts of life.  They also had some gear on them and had some fun dressing up Brett W. 
The team was then off to Portage for the airshow that evening.  Ryley C, our resident pilot, was invited by Captain Strachan to attend the pilot briefing prior to the show Wednesday evening.  The Snowbirds gave a great presentation to our students and feedback from our students who attended the airshow, even though weather shortened their routine, it was still great.
