Progress report for Harv's Air/Air Cadets

Progress report for Harv's Air Cadets

July 13, 2002

Submitted by: Adam Penner

Cadets are building their solo flight hours up to about 4 hours and then practicing manoeuvres such as steep turns, stalls, spiral dives, and slow flight. Early next week exercises next include precautionary landings, forced approaches, and navigation diversions. Progress thus far is excellent and on schedule.

Major Dean Gillrie also visited us today with a great looking 8-GCBC Scout that is used for towing gliders. He give an invigorating speech to the cadets, on what a great opportunity they are receiving and that they should be and that they should strive for greatness.

Clear skies, light south west winds, and +30C...another day in "paradise".
