An aviation training academy teaching flight principles by experience and a drawing contest where children draw pictures with their dreams about the sky will be held.
 
The executive office of Gyeonggi Ansan Airshow announced on March 25 that it will run ‘Aviation Training Academy’ explaining structures and principles of the airplane to children from March 29 to April 20 at where the airshow is held (Gyeonggi Technopark front).

Aviation Training Academy includes indoor lectures such as explanation about how to become a pilot and flight principles, video watching, and model plane making, and outdoor activities such as airplane flying and photo zone at the on-land airplane. Classes can accommodate 60 participants and are held at 10a.m. to 2p.m every Friday and Saturday.

In addition to Aviation Training Academy, ‘Visiting Aviation Training Academy’ is held for elementary schools within Ansan City and neighboring cities including Suwon, Anyang, Hwaseong, and Siheung City. It is held in extra curriculum time by discussing with each enrolled school for only once per school with 50 students.
 
Visitors and schools can apply for the programs on the homepage of Gyeonggi Ansan Aviation Airshow (www.skyexpo.or.kr) by April 4, and the participating fee is KRW 3,000 for kindergarteners and KRW 10,000 for elementary school students, which is accepted in order of application. ‘Visiting Aviation Training Academy’ is held for free.
 
At the same time, students can apply for ‘Gyeonggi Ansan Aviation Airshow Drawing Contest’, which is held during the airshow. It is targeted at from preschoolers to high school students, and a group of competitors should apply by April 30, and an individual competitor can apply on the spot during the airshow. The grand prize awardee will be awarded a family ticket of Seoul Land, and all prize-winning drawings will be exhibited at 2014 Aviation Airshow.
 
Group applicants can apply by email of Ansan City School Association (demi7477@hanmail.net) or by fax (031-405-0049) after downloading and filling in application form from Gyeonggi Ansan Aviation Airshow website (www.skyexpo.or.kr).
 
Considering the last airshow, one source from the executive office said, “Since Aviation Training Academy and drawing contest are popular among the children, the acceptance will be closed early. Therefore, applicants should apply for the programs as early as possible.”
