To AS València, May has been a month full of activities and fun. And it’s no wonder, since it’s the last full month of the academic year and we had to make the most of it.
From May 13th to 18th, lots of AS València members had the opportunity to fly in an ultralight and/or autogiro aircraft, and could even ask for acrobatic flight. This activity was possible thanks to La Llosa aerodrome near València, where many youngsters learned to fly these aircrafts accompanied by the instructor, who, by chance, was a member of AS València back in the day.
On Friday 17th, AS València members had the opportunity to participate in a brand new activity, a visit to Base Aérea de Albacete, which is one of the 15 Spain Air and Space Force Bases and includes the Maestranza de Albacete, the most important Air Force aircrafts maintenance site in Spain. There, AS València got to see from the very first step the routines that military personnel perform each day, as well as mind-blowing equipment and aircraft. Our most enthusiastic members could feel the floor shaking and the loud engines working as cutting-edge military aircraft performed several test flights over our heads.
After recovering from last day`s blast, AS València went on a trip to Benicàssim, a coastal village near València, on May 18th and 19th. There, we had some bonding activities, starting with an Effective Communication Training delivered by ETS Trainer and AS València, Vice-President Antonio Jordà, followed by beach volley matches. The next morning, some of the groups went on a trip to the mountain right next to the sea, where members disconnected from the routine city life and spent some quality time. Overall, the weekend marked a really enjoyable experience for AS València members.
The following week, on May 23rd, the second AS València General Assembly of the year took place. Important decisions on AS València’s future were made and next Business Year Local Board was elected, which resulted in three current LB members and four new LB members. Overall, a nice balance between experience and fresh members.
Last but not least, on May 30th, AS València organised a lecture on Relativity effects by Dr. Michael M. Tung. That’s a wrap to this month activities and virtually AS València activities during the academic year. More and better to come in the future!
