Bell flies with USAF Thunderbirds
Starr’s Mill High’s Rob Bell, the 2024 Fayette County Teacher of the Year, flew with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds as part of their “Hometown Hero” program that honors deserving local people.
During his 45-minute flight, Bell experienced the thrill of hitting up to nine G’s in an F-16 Fighting Falcon, along with the accompanying twists, spins, and turns of the best roller coaster ride imaginable.
Bell was chosen as the 2024 Fayette County Teacher of the Year based on his positive impact on over 3,500 Fayette County students during his 20-plus year tenure along with his passion for teaching, lifelong learning, and servant leadership.
The Thunderbirds headlined the 2024 Atlanta Air Show at Falcon Field in Peachtree City.
