Join United Airlines for a day of fun and flight-centered exploration! You will get to go out on the tarmac to see the belly of the plane, get up close to the engine, and even take a ride on one of the tug vehicles!  You will also meet a female pilot and flight attendant and learn all about the amazing work they do. Finally, you will get to check out some of the new high-tech Transportation Security Administration (TSA) equipment and get a backstage view into how it all works! End the day by giving back to the community with a short service project!
