The Michigan Army National Guard flew two helicopters to Northern Michigan University Thursday afternoon, where they were held on static display for two hours, so the public could get an up close look at the machinery. Following their display, current members and cadets in NMU’s Wildcat Battalion ROTC program participated in orientation flights.
