National Flight Academy: From July 3-8, the National Flight Academy (NFA) in Pensacola, Fla., is hosting an American Legion Week. NFA has helped thousands of seventh- through 12th-graders learn STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) principles while developing an interest in aviation. The 144 students attending the development program will spend six days in a multi-story, 102,000-square-foot facility. They will learn from military instructors, eat in a mess hall, sleep in staterooms and experience the constant rumble of the ship's engine and aircraft taking off and landing.
