TOLEDO -- Area students will get to chat with some high-flyers Friday afternoon.
Students at Bennett Venture Academy will interview astronaut Robert Thirsk aboard the International Space Station via amateur radio.
They'll only have about 10 minutes as he passes over northwest Ohio.
The radio operator says it took about 500 hours to set up the interview.
