Rick Stairs, director of the Houlton Air Operations of US Customs Border Protection Air and Marine, recently visited Houlton Southside School. Stairs, along with pilot Mike Fuller, visited with students that attend the 21st Century Afterschool Program. They explained the different parts of the helicopter, as well as how each works. Highlights of this visit for the students included watching Stairs fly in and take off, and sitting in the helicopter and feeling like a real life Border Patrol Agent.
