Sky is the limit as schoolboy takes off for physics lesson

SECONDARY school student David Wolfe couldn’t believe his luck when he was chosen to take to the skies over Cork yesterday.

But it wasn’t just luck that got him his first ever flying lesson. David, from Crosshaven, is one of eight transition year students from Ashton School on Blackrock Road, Cork, studying the physics of flying as part of their Leaving Certificate curriculum.

They were on a flying visit to the Atlantic Flight Centre in Ballygarvan, thanks to their enthusiasm for the subject and a brainwave by physics teacher Adrian Landen.
