I MET SOME OF THE PILOTS WHO WERE AT THE “THUNDER AND LIGHTING” AIRSHOW AT DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE IN MARCH. JACQUIE B IS A FEMALE PILOT WHO DECIDED AT THE AGE OF 50 TO START PERFORMING IN AIR SHOWS. HER AIRPLANE AND HER JUMPSUIT ARE BOTH BRIGHT RED. SHE SAYS SHE LOVES THE THRILL OF FLYING IN AIR SHOWS AND ENTERTAINING THE CROWD. SHE HOPES SHE IS A ROLE MODEL FOR GIRLS WHO MIGHT WANT TO WORK IN AVIATION. CAPTAIN RYAN RUTTER IS AN A-10 PILOT FROM ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO. HE IS ASSIGNED TO DAVIS-MONTHAN. HE EXPLAINED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE A-10 TO ME.

ON APRIL 4 THE VILLANOVA WILDCATS WON THEIR FIRST BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE 1985. VILLANOVA BEAT NORTH CAROLINA ON A BUZZER 3, TO WIN 87 TO 84. VILLANOVA WAS LEADING 84-81 WHEN THE TAR HEELS' MARCUS PAIGE SHOT A WILD THREE-POINTER TO TIE THE GAME. THE CROWD WENT WILD. TIME OUT, VILLANOVA, WITH 4.7 SECONDS TO GO. VILLANOVA TOOK THE BALL DOWN THE COURT AND RYAN ARCIDIACONO HANDED OFF TO KRIS JENKINS. JENKINS ATTEMPTED THE THREE. THE BUZZER SOUNDED AND THE BALL WENT IN. THE VILLANOVA WILDCATS WIN! THIS IS BODHI SETHI FROM MANZANITA ELEMENTARY FOR BEAR ESSENTIAL NEWS.

THIS IS BODHI SETHI FROM MANZANITA ELEMENTARY FOR BEAR ESSENTIAL NEWS.
