\u201cThe skill and creativity on display here is spectacular,\u201d\nsaid Boyette, who judged the contest during a visit to the Division of Aviation\nHangar on Friday. \u201cI\u2019m glad these students got the chance to showcase their\nartistic talents and love of aviation despite what\u2019s been a tough year for\nmany.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
