CONWAY — In one giant leap for breakfast time, a group of CAD III students in Joe Riddensdale's class at Kennett High successfully delivered a bagel sandwich from Big Dave's Bagels to the top of Eagles’ Way via drone on Friday morning.
While it wasn’t quite the same as being in Kitty Hawk in 1903 when Orville and Wibur Wright made lifted off in the first powered aircraft, or when Neal Armstrong set foot on the moon, it still was a groundbreaking moment for the local flock of Eagles.
