Post by electraguy »

former CIC officer in Penhold

basic 03
PERT and Rifle coach 05
FLY SCHOL 06!

I did my time as an officer at 7 Sqn Penhold and at the camp there as well. Lots of good times flying, teaching ground school and the best summer ever as the fam pilot and asst fly schol officer for fly schol 06, a totally incredible bunch of cadets and also good friends.

One thing i found working in the program, the cadets are awsome, the adults make life difficult in that program with the politics and wanna be BS. Other than that, best youth program going i would say and congrads to all of you who have gone on from the program in the aviation world.

As for me, been in the idustry since 2000 and lovin it!
