Under the direction of Aviation Merit Badge instructor and Captain in the U.S. Air Force, Philip E. Butler, Troop 1ers were also treated to a VIP tour of the Hill Air Force Base Aerospace Museum, providing an inside look at a variety of aircraft spanning the past 100 years.
After spending several hours at Hill AFB and completing lunch, Troop 1 scouts and leaders were given a tour of the Ogden, Utah Airport Control Tower by several air traffic control operators working inside the facility. Members of Utah's oldest scout troop learned quite a lot about aviation today!
