COLOR GUARD NEWS

On Sunday November 1, our cadet officers met with the C/Airmen and C/NCO who have expressed an interest in establishing a Color Guard and working toward participation in Competition in early Spring 2010. Thus far, the Color Guard element includes: C/Sargent M. Pardue, C/Airman J. Phillips, C/Airman C. Blank, C/Airman N. Delbasty, C/Airman C. Pike and C/Basic J. Nworkorie. Any other cadets wishing to participate should contact his/her superior ASAP.
Practices are tentatively scheduled for every other Sunday but planning is still in progress. Practice equipment should begin to trickle in.

O - Flight!

Congratulations to Cadet Basic D. Kelly, who completed his first orientation flight! Sunday afternoon, November 1, 2009, Cadet Kelly along with Cadet Flight Commander 2nd Lt. P. Nworkorie, took to the skies with Commander Phil Collins.

Commander Collins stated that Cadet Kelly "...expressed a strong desire to be a pilot while asking questions about some of the cockpit items. He demonstrated above average ability to fly and control the aircraft and seem relaxed and enjoying the flight. He is looking forward to his next flight."

One of the most exiting thing about Cadet Orientation flights is the chance to actually take control of and FLY the aircraft during safe situations. We congratulate Cadet Kelly and encourage him to move onward and upward. "Semper Escendo"
