| ETC's EnTCo Receives Contract from McWane Science Center |
| Southampton, Pa, November 30, 2006: - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (AMEX: ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") wholly owned subsidiary Entertainment Technology Corporation (EnTCo) is pleased to announce the sale of a "Wild Earth: African Plains" edition ride to the McWane Science Center in Birmingham, Alabama. The order calls for the delivery of a Wild Earth Ride platform, the "African Plains" edition ride software and a pre-order of the "Deep Ocean Safari" edition, featuring Philippe Cousteau of EarthEcho International and Michiko Martin of NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Program. The ride will be delivered in March of 2007.
Rob Lloyd, Creative Director for EnTCo, said "EnTCo is thrilled to bring the African Plains to the McWane Science Center. The unique interactive photo-safari experience that this EnTCo attraction offers is an exciting and fun way to engage people about conservation issues that impact everyone on this planet. I am especially excited to see kids at the McWane Science Center dive into the Deep Ocean Safari for the first time. We know more about the surface of the Moon than we know about the ocean floor. We must inspire the next generation to care for and further explore the ocean frontier." Elaine Greene-Yancey, Associate Vice-President for the McWane Science Center, stated, "We are looking forward to adding Wild Earth to our Center. We were impressed with the quality of the production and the family-oriented educational content. We are especially excited about the fact that some of our younger visitors, as young as 4 years of age, can also participate in the educational exhibit. It has such a wide appeal, all our members will enjoy the experience." In Wild Earth™, guests discover the thrill and excitement of an African Photo Safari experience and marvel at the array of wildlife and rich landscapes of the Serengeti. In ™, the riders are in full control, navigating the vehicle through the stunning landscapes of Africa on a quest for that "perfect picture." In Wild Earth™: Deep Ocean Safari, guests become sub-mariners to discover and interact with a wide array of marine life and habitats that represent the National Marine Sanctuary Program. The virtual dive experiences offer a kaleidoscope of images and memories never to be forgotten. Wild Earth also received the "Best New Product" award from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) in 2004.
