Familiarization Flying, commonly known as “Famil Flying,” took place for several lucky air cadets from 552 Key City Squadron, on September 8 and 9 at Cranbrook’s Canadian Rockies International Airport.

Cadets were given lessons on topics related to flying, safety briefing, a 30-minute flight and a de-briefing.  Several cadets on Sunday were treated to the surprise landing of two vintage air craft, 1941 & 1952 Harvard Trainer. The pilots, from Camrose, Alta., allowed the cadets to have an up close look at their aircraft after they fueled.

Weather permitting; we are scheduled to go gliding in early November, along with 279 & 266 Air Cadet Squadrons.
