Saturday morning, March 20, two of our newest cadets took to the air with Col. Collins for their first Orientation Flight. Cadets Tanner Smith and Gage Tressitt seemed to already be flying high just at the thought of getting to fly. Tressitt had one word to describe the experience, "Amazing!" He said it was really cool how they got to fly over there neighborhoods and see their homes. Smith thought whole experience was "Awesome."
Civil Air Patrol Cadets who are members of the Ascension Composite Squadron receive their first O-Flight after passing most of the requirements for promotion to their first rank. Both Tressitt and Smith, should be reaching that promotion within the next week.
