Knoxville employers got an opportunity to ride in a CH-47 Chinook helicopter during the 2014 Center of Influence event.

The event was hosted by the Iowa National Guard and Iowa Employer Support of the Guard and Reserves, or ESGR. Employers were able to learn more about the ESGR, the National Guard, and the Aviation mission as a State emergency asset and for federal mobilizations.

Participants received an educational briefing and hands on opportunities with weapons and equipment, as well as the helicopter flight.
