The Sky is the Limit
A hesitant voice crackles through the speaker of the Fargo Jet Center. “Fargo tower this is Cessna-N10897 at runway two seven, ready for takeoff.” “Clear.” Freshman Grace Lenhart gives the little white plane full throttle. The dual screens freckled with lights and levers begin to blink as the engine whirs. She gives the controls a…
