         <description><![CDATA[
	I found Major Vasqeuz's message to GKWFA students very encouraging. &nbsp;Instead of making his presentation "about me," he held up a mirror for the students and made it "about you." &nbsp;I couldn't help but think that more of this others-centered focus is what our society needs today to recenter its vision as it moves forward. &nbsp;

	Ever wonder what air traffic controllers do? &nbsp;Well, they don't stand on the tarmac and direct planes with lighted batons. &nbsp;Air traffic controllers are responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of passengers who fly daily in the United States and the rest of the world. &nbsp;

	Well, they did fly to Ramona...virtually, that is. &nbsp;Nevertheless, today's class marked the first time that Da Vinci cadets put the flight skills they've been practicing for the past three weeks to the test by making a cross country flight from John Wayne Airport to Ramona Airport on their computer simulators. &nbsp;Check out our photogallery for pictures of Da Vinci students plotting their courses and flying them on their simulators the following day. &nbsp;
