hey,
I would of never quess so many air cadets are here. I think i even saw one who did glider and power in the 70's wow makes me feel special.

air studies 2003 truro nova scotia RGS-A
glider 2004 debert nova scotia RGS-A
power 2005 gander newfoundland GFT


I'm the newbie. yeah I've flown the 172n which I love the 40 degrees of flaps. Along witht the accidental full forward slip in a really bad had to land situation.

just wondering I know there are cadets in other countries like britian and they do a similiar process any idea if there is one here. chances are slim to none but just wondering.

I've heard somewhere that over 60% of pilots in Canada were once in the Air Cadets. This is starting to look about right judging from all the responses here. I guess it makes sense, since many who were interested in flying since they were young, went to the Cadets, and many who got the taste of flying and stuck to it to make it a career, got that taste from Cadets.

The average pilot, despite the somewhat swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring.
These feelings just don't involve anyone else.
