When Daniel Melot of Oakley’s Boy Scout Troop 152 heard from fellow Scout Tony Parsons that an aviation merit badge course was being held at the Pacific Coast Air Museum in Santa Rosa, he jumped at the opportunity.

The two, along with Scout Travis Karbowski, took the classroom portion a couple of weeks ago, but weather postponed the flight time until Nov. 6. Daniel and Travis climbed into the back seat of the four-passenger plane while Tony sat up front with the pilot and was able to actually take control of the plane a couple of times.
