Building an Airplane From the Ground Up
Stage A , Sunday 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM
When McKinley Siegfried was only 16 years old, her parents gave her an airplane for her birthday. The only caveat: She had to build it. "We just thought, you know what, this is perfect, this will do it; she'll get a thorough understanding of the process and what goes into it," said her father, Rand Siegfried. McKinley was not new to flying. She had been soloing airplanes since she was 14 years old, but she was new to building them, especially one that she would fly.... Come hear directly from McKinley and Rand as they recount their story and describe how they were able to accomplish this incredible task!
