Civil Air Patrol Cadet Flight

Young leader takes the controls during orientation flight

Today cadets from the Cobb County Composite Squadron - Civil Air Patrol took flight at McCollum International Airport.

The cadet orientation flight program shares with cadets the thrill of flying. Every CAP cadet under age 18 is eligible for five flights in a powered aircraft (usually a single-engine Cessna), five flights in a glider aircraft. Pictured here is Cadet Airman Garrett Neal at the controls of one of CAP’s Cesena 182 aircraft.
