Lakeside Junior High School Principal Dustin James was one of those lucky few to be chosen to climb into the cockpit of the No. 7 Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet earlier this week and experience a day with “The Blues.”
River City Live host Jana Angel and James shared the day together, hanging tough through barrel rolls, inverted, loops, and many other maneuvers you can see for yourself this weekend!
