Internship: Day 6

Today we were able to go and visit the other General Aviation airports that are run by Salt Lake.  The Tooele Valley airport was our first stop.  Paige drove us out there and showed us around.  We were going to inspect the fuel and other things but he accidentally left his keys so we just drove around and watched the parachuters jump out of a plane and land back at the airport.  After that, we drove out to the South Valley Regional airport.  We met up with the  man who managed that airport, as well as the Tooele one, and the General Aviation portion at SLC.  He talked to us for awhile about all of his duties as a manager for those 3 airports.  He is a busy man with a lot of responsibilities.  We drove around that airport for a little bit and spotted a sneaky little fox wandering around the airport.
We finally got back to SLC Int. at about 1:45 and we were starving at that point.  By the time we got our lunch and finally sat down, it was 2 PM and we inhaled our lunch in less than 15 minutes.  We found Dave after we ate and he told us we could go home early.  We were all really happy about that, plus it meant that I would beat the traffic and get home early enough to nap before my midnight showing of Batman :)
We aren't meeting next Tuesday because of Pioneer Day but I am pretty excited for next Thursday.  We will be working with the Wildlife Department :)
*peace out girl scout*
