If you heard several planes flying over Trail last Saturday, it could have been seventeen cadets of 531 City of Trail squadron experiencing the thrill of flight.

The cadets were flown by Rupert Robin in his SR22, Civilian Instructor Mark Mozel flying the Nelson Pilots Associations Cessna 177 and Major Kevn DeBiasio flying the Trail Flying Clubs Cessna 172.

After learning about the aircraft, the cadets took off from the Trail Airport and then flew over Castlegar, Nelson and Salmo.

Over the next several months there are many exciting activities planned for the cadets of 531. They will be attending a sports day in Castlegar, flying in both powered aircraft and gliders and attending an outdoor weekend. Cadets will also be competing in effective speaking, marksmanship and running biathlon competitions.
