Ah yes, the good-old days at Cadets. I was in the 893 Beaufort Squadron. Unfortunately, only one year in Cadets, 1986- 1987. Did the CFB Penhold "thing" in the summer of 1987, and was shocked to discovered that there are cities in Canada that have only dirt roads! Mmmmm, cream of wheat for breakfast. Voodoo Flight also got permanently lodged in my mind as the "usual suspects" troublemakers.

I now fly as FO on Airbus A320's for a Middle-Eastern carrier.

2000 ITAC, Trenton/Loyalist College (anyone else from Remove Before flight?)

Unfortunately never received the opportunity to learn the art of flying with fellow cadet comrades. Ended up retiring early so I could get a job at the airport and pay for training myself. Did first solo flight 15 months later.

Definitely had some of the best times in Cadets!

Also Soo class of '05. Good times there too
