Good Evening 809,

Cadets are encouraged to explore the resources available and stay tuned for more information and learning opportunities that will be coming soon.

Scramble, scramble, scramble…Aircrews, man your planes…
Hey 809….We’re looking to you to become designers of some funky, maybe practical, but also fun paper airplanes. We’ll be reviewing them on a Zoom meeting on Wednesday, May 6. We’ll pick out winners of 3 categories..
1/ Most realistic design….WW2 warbird…Canadian Forces Aircraft….Civilian Airliner….Whatever. Design and build a paper airplane model. Colour it so that it looks as realistic as possible. Don’t worry about flight on this. It’s the look that counts.
2/ Most Fantastic Funky Fliers… Go all out with a crazy design. Take something from a movie….a cartoon… or just from the top of your head. Design something spectacular to show off. If it flies…well bonus.
3/ Best practical design. This is where we put together a paper airplane that’s born to fly. The airplane with the best flight characteristics gets the heads up on everyone in this category.
809 will get together on Wednesday May 6 at 1900 via Zoom (invitations will go out to take part). Here you can show off your creation, talk about your influences and show how much air your flier can get. Send me your email addresses so I can send you an invite.
We’d like everyone to take part. Even if you’d prefer being an observer. Let me know.
Have fun with this and bring your A-game. Show the squadron who the best of the best is.
OCdt Couroux.
