On Wednesday the 7th, the Young Ambassadors team
took yet another exciting trip to the Airforce base in Tamale as part of the
Open Day Celebrations. March 7 is earmarked nationally as an open day across
the various garrisons of the armed forces in Ghana. On this day, the military
showcase their work to students and the general public.
As a followup to a trip made to the Airborne Force in December
2017, the team this time took advantage of the open day to visit the Airforce
base. In this very exciting trip, the ambassadors were educated on the Airforce
operations. They boarded a now defunct Forker 27 to learn about its mode of
operation.
The team also had the chance to board a helicopter and take
a short ride through the airport area. This was particularly thrilling for some
of the members as it was their first time on an aircraft. The team members were
with smiles after the flight with never-ending stories on how it felt. A parent
said amidst giggles that “this is the
first time I am seeing the world from up here—I have never felt this scared,
yet so excited in my life.”
