Hello everyone, Today I will be telling you about the Batten team visit to the Air Force Museum! On Tuesday the 5th I went to the Air Force Museum, it was so much fun. We learned about the Air Force, everyday heroes, and planes. I learned so much interesting stuff! One great fact I learned was you can drive a plane when you're 16 (after your training course). My favourite part of the trip was sitting inside one of the planes and then jumping out of the plane onto a blue mat. Thank you for reading, Ruby
