Airforce Helicopter at FOS



Today the air force helicopter and 5 of its crew visited Fendalton School. The whole school was in assembly and Mr Sibson told us to follow him and look up for a hero. One person thought it might be superman and someone else thought that it might be God or Jesus coming to Fendalton school.
The field was all marked off and we waited around the edges. In the distance we heard a propeller going around and we knew it was a helicopter. The helicopter kept going around the school and then it stopped up in the air. One of the crew was winched down onto the field.
Later on we were able to go back to the helicopter and we went through it and asked the crew some questions. The pilot said he didn't feel like a hero, he was just doing his job. It took him about 2 years to learn to be a pilot.
Just before lunch the helicopter got ready to leave. It lifted off and left someone behind. She had to be lifted up into the helicopter with winch.
What an exciting day at Fendalton School!
