Blackhawk Helicopter Visit

On Tuesday, May 11, 2004, a Blackhawk helicopter from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation touched down at Middlebury Elementary School.  All students were assembled in front of the school to watch the landing.   Each class toured the helicopter and the rescue truck.  They were given a quick overview of both vehicles.   The students had a wonderful time and were very excited to learn about both vehicles.
