Aviation event aims to inspire Milwaukee youth: 'It was wonderful'

Aviation event aims to inspire youth

Members of the Milwaukee County Youth Commission took flight on Saturday morning. An event was held at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport.

MILWAUKEE – Members of the Milwaukee County Youth Commission saw the city from a different perspective on Saturday morning.

The Young Eagles Rally Flight took commission members from the ground at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport to the skies. The event aimed to inspire a passion for aviation and introduce youth to potential careers in the field.

“It was wonderful. I got to see Milwaukee from a different view,” said Daniel Damon of Milwaukee, the youth commissioner for District 10. “On commercial airplanes you won’t be able to see the different views of Milwaukee. I got to see the top of the skyscrapers and stuff like that, which is cool.”

The Milwaukee County Youth Commission was reestablished in May 2022. It serves as a representative body for the county’s youth and provides advisory recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. There are 20 members, including at least one commissioner per supervisory district.

“I am excited to provide our youth commissioners with this exciting opportunity,” Supervisor Kathleen Vincent, who organized the event, said in a statement. “I organized this event to help our young leaders explore new perspectives and gain insights into the field of aviation. My hope is that it inspires a lasting interest in aviation and opens up new career paths for our youth.”

Ex-Brewers Star Reportedly Available After Opting For Free Agency

One former Milwaukee Brewers star seems to be available.

Former Brewers All-Star closer Corey Knebel has dealt with injury trouble since 2022 but joined the Chicago White Sox on a minor league deal ahead of the 2024 campaign. Knebel’s been dealing with a torn shoulder capsule but was able to return to the mound this season at the minor league level.

Knebel made 12 appearances at the minor league level for Chicago but now is a free agent after reportedly opting out of his contract, according to MLB Trade Rumors’ Mark Polishuk.

“The White Sox released right-hander Corey Knebel earlier this week, as reported by Sox Machine’s James Fegan and other members of the team’s beat,” Polishuk said. “MLB.com’s profile page for Knebel lists the transaction as an “elected free agency,” which implies that Knebel exercised an opt-out clause in the minor league contract he signed last winter.

“Knebel suffered a capsule tear in his right shoulder almost two years ago, and after missing the 2023 season entirely, he returned to action in June as part of a rehab assignment with Chicago’s rookie league affiliate…”At Triple-A, Knebel had a perfect 0.00 ERA across 5 1/3 innings, with a 44.4 percent strikeout rate and 11.1 percent walk rate.”

The righty was selected in the first round of the 2013 Major League Baseball trade deadline by the Detroit Tigers and made his big league debut in 2014. He joined the Brewers ahead of the 2015 season and spent five seasons with the club.

In five seasons, Knebel logged a 3.20 ERA in 231 total appearances while earning his lone All-Star nod.
