Thomas Angsten, the wrestling coach and driver's ed teacher at Taft High School, flew with the Blue Angels after being nominated by a student.A Chicago Publics School teacher got the very special opportunity to fly with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels ahead of the Air and Water Show, after being nominated by a student.
The Taft High School wrestling coach and driver's ed teacher has one of his students to thank for this experience. The student, who is in the JROTC program, took part in a contest, writing the winning essay about Angsten's support and dedication to his students."I'm very happy he nominated me and I won, and now I have this great opportunity," Angsten said.
The proud father watched his son settle into the Blue Angels jet, getting some tips from pilot Lt. Connor O'Donnell. Then, after a shoutout to his students, it was go time. "The g-force definitely catches you off guard at first but I got used to it towards the end," he said. "We pushed it. I asked for it."
