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.

Some people are like slinkies: Not much good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Hey everyone!
I was a member as well...
819 North Delta Skyhawks
'94-98'
Basic '95 Alberthead
Glider '96 CFB Chilliwack (now defunct)
Power '97 Alberthead (Victoria Flight Training)
Loved every minute of it!
V1 Rotate, and R1830, no doubt we were shoving gliders around together and trashing the CFOCS barracks! Can you PM your names? If I recall, my nickname was "Claymore" Look me up on your T-Shirts!
Currently Skippering a Cessna 402 in the Lower Mainland, somewhere...
SNAG - Moishel?

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.
