Hey air cadets.. YAAA ;D
I just retired in may from 567 squadron here in newfoundland. I'm staying in blues though. BMQ starts 3rd october. :threat: But I must say, Air Cadets rock and if i was ruler of the world i would make sure that everyone 12-18 years of age was in the program. Sad to leave but in some sort of way i will always be involved in a squadron.

Well I guess I should announce my return to the boards after glider. The course was tons of fun everyone got along pretty good. I only hate the weather for forcing us to extend and even forcing most of us to not get our wings. Oh well still a fun experience and I'll be finishing my wings at the gliding centres. I highly recommend the course to everyone who's cool enough to be in air cadets. And hey condor... what's a spin like in a powered plane? I can't imagine anything being cooler than doing it in a 2-33A, especially when they gave me a birthday flight with a 4 rotation spin

Ha..... ha... ha :-\.. no really that was good ;D
Actually we were power flying in st.johns last year, we were wearing our squadron hoodies and on the back in enormous letters it said "567 RANDOM AIR CADETS". An old lady comes up to a group of us and asks if we are just 567 randomly selected cadets.. it took her a while to understand it was our # and name. ;D
Retired WO1 Blundon, (but going back for a couple weeks before i go to BMQ :threat
Peace

Wait till you do spins in a Cessena, bit hard to get into, but way more fun.......trust me on that....... ;D........stalls are better in a glider, spirals too, unless you screw up the recovery and accidentally add throttle instead of taking it off..........what? It was the first time I tried to recover from a spiral in a cessena...... :-[ Yeah, don't do that. Fun, but, don't do that.

I was involved with 508 Caribou Sqn (St. John's, NL) in the 90's. Any Greenwood staff cadets out there from '96 or '97 drop me a line. Cadets was a great stepping stone for me to into the reserves and now into the reg force. I have a lot of contacts in the miltiary because of cadets (people that went to RMC or in as NCM's) and a lot of friends I still visit. I finished up as a Sgt in the Reserves (the reserves is by far the best way you could ever put yourself through university) this past week and now it's on to Officerland in the regs.
