TAGGING: was a success! Thank you to all the parent drivers, the cadets who participated, the staff and sponsors who supervised, and to Mr. Ruttan (Sponsor Chairman) and Mr. Hendriks (Sponsor Treasurer) for being available all weekend to make sure tagging was successful. Well done!

Flying Cancelled….AGAIN!!!!

I hate to do it, but I need to cancell flying again tonight. Cielings are forecasted to be 1700 feet above the ground, which means I can only fly 1200 feet above the ground. Regional Cadet Air Operations require flights to be at least 2500 feet.

Wednesday looks more promising…but shhh dont jinx it!
