Sunday’s Jet Boat Trip
Sunday’s trip up the Niagara River on a jet boat was a blast!
It all started with a safety briefing and a walk from the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours office to their dock at the end of the street.
Once we arrived, we put on our Sunday best and had a group picture taken. The appropriate subtitle here would be: they were never seen (dry) again. Well, at least not for the rest of the day.
There weren’t a lot of good opportunities to see faces once we got out onto the water, but if you’re really lucky, you may be able to pick out one or two through the spray. We’re the last two rows in the last picture.
Everyone who came out had a great time!
Special thanks go out to CI Ruttan for coming out and sharing the trip with us. The squadron won’t be the same without you in September.
Familiarization Flying – Standby!
Please standby as we wait for approval for our Famil Flying. Coincidentally, the weather was not going to cooperate for tonight anyways. Capt Mario Palumbo, CD of the St. Catharines Cadet Flying Training Site will be the Pilot for our outings. The Sqn is paying for the flying – no cost to our cadets!
For Wed (pending approval!) – Group #1 meet at the NOTL Airport at 550pm. Group #2 meet at the NOTL Airport at 650pm. You must be LOGGED IN to view the names. If I missed your name, please text me ASAP to reserve your spot. 289-783-1942 (Capt Palumbo)

Look for the website post & subsequent email to CONFIRM Famil Flying on Wednesday night.
Pinery Provincal Park / Grand Bend
Weather cooporated and a great time was had by all. What an excellent way to end off the year.
Good luck to WO1 Lavoie, and see everyone again in September.
Jet Boating Pickup Time
A few people have been asking when to be picked up from this afternoon’s trip. The boat leaves at 3:00pm and the trip is approximately one hour, so expect to be able to pick your cadet up at 4:00pm.

My road to the CF-18 – Cpl Michael Reyda
Being an Air Cadet is only the beginning…
“You have brains in your head you have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
― Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Michael Reyda wanted to fly the CF-18 after seeing one perform a high-alpha maneuver at an airshow. When he found out he needed glasses he knew that meant he couldn’t be a CF-18 pilot. So he made it his goal to work on the jet instead. Now Cpl Reyda is an Avionics Systems Tech and keeps the CF-18’s computers, radios and radar in check for exercises like Maple Flag.
Parents: we need some treats!
Parents: if you are willing/able to bring baked goods to our Annual Ceremonial Review on Saturday to be used as dessert for the BBQ, please send a marked tupperware container to the parade with your cadet.
We need everything to be NUT free.
If you would like to contribute, but have no time to bake, consider purchasing something from your local grocer.
If you have questions, please talk with either Capt Palumbo or Mrs Mehrotra. Thanks in advance!

UNIFORMS! All you need to know is printed in CATO 55-04: (available to all cadets on the website) Air Cadet Dress Instructions. Check your pants for “railroad tracks”, your boots for dull spots, your dress shirt for proper crease position. Now is the time to be picky about how you look! Senior Cadets (Sgt & up) we will repeat the uniform inspection from last week. You know what needs to be fixed.
Mandatory Attendance May 24, 27 & 31. We have 2 Wed nights total remaining. Tonight we will be having our final Annual Parade Practice – it is a COMPLETE DRESS REHEARSAL run through of the parade (unfortunately, the Snowbirds Air show was cancelled for this week). We need everyone out so we are ready for our Annual Ceremonial Review Parade on Sat 27 May 2017 at 3pm. All cadets are required to attend in order to complete their level.
PARENT SUMMER TRAINING BRIEFING – NEXT WED 31 MAY 2017. 645pm in Classroom #1. All cadets that are attending summer training, must have a parent attend. The Cadet Squadron Commander Change of Command Parade will follow at 815pm.
