cIVIL AIR PATROL ORIENTATION FLIGHTS
Recently, twenty eight JROTC Cadets were treated to the ride of a lifetime as they received a thirty minute orientation flight given by Major Kevin Houser of Civil Air Patrol. The flights took place in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk aircraft and for most of the cadets, this was their first time inside an airplane! The orientation flights are part of the JROTC Curriculum and designed to create interest in aviation or an aviation-related career field. Cadets also received an unexpected lesson in flight safety as they were diverted from Wright Brothers Airport in Springboro to the Greene County Airport in Xenia because of the windy conditions. Based on the smiles on the cadets’ faces, it’s safe to say they had a great time despite the cold!
