High school students from all across Spokane County are getting the chance to get behind the yoke this summer through the Spokane Skills Center. The summer Aerospace Academy will teach the students over the next three weeks a comprehensive taste of the aerospace industry. They spent Wednesday and today getting up in the air with their flight instructors at Geiger Field.

"The feeling was amazing. It's nothing like I've experienced before, but it was kind of choppy," said Bridger Peres, East Valley High School senior.

The Department of Natural Resources wants to alert the public of a caterpillar outbreak in various Washington State counties. Spokane and Whitman County is one of the affected areas of the Douglas-fir Tussock Moth caterpillar. They're native to the area and feed on the leaves of Douglas-fir and True-fir trees. DNR wants to ensure the health of your trees by asking you to immediately report any sign of the moth to DNR or the Washington State University Extension.
