Army Sergeant First Class Behroth, a simulator operator, lead students through a 1.9 million dollar 18-wheel semi truck, instructing and informing students about the different simulators and exhibits.

In the simulator students could pilot two different helicopters, control an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), called Predator Drone, sit in a small air carrier or sit through live footage of aerial video from overseas .Students were also able to watch educational programs on interactive screens.

A life size soldier with the latest full combat aviation gear was on display. Scale model planes and bombs used throughout history were displayed with briefs to explain each.

“It’s a fun, educational experience that provides an inside look to exactly what the Army has to offer in the field of aviation,” says Sophomore Christopher Phelps.

The truck originates out of Fort Knox, Kentucky and travels the country during the school year and during the summer visiting air shows and other events.

The Army recruiting program has 9 trucks that vary in theme from aviation to ground combat.

“The goal of these exhibits is to educate and inspire students about the Army’s programs,” says SFC Behroth.
