UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa - For Penn State senior Dominic DiFulvio, flying doesn't just constitute twisting and turning in the air on vault or pulling off a perfect landing on rings. Flying is something he's always had an interest in and from an early age wanted to pursue as a career.
"I always wanted to fly, so I just kept with that when I was a kid," DiFulvio said. "When I got here, I figured why not do something I always loved as a kid. [Gymnastics] definitely kindred that aspect of my life."
DiFulvio took a step towards making that dream a reality when he interned with the Penn State Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence last year.
