NUECES CO AIRPORT (KBRO)- For the second time in one week Civil Air Patrol Cadets were given Orientation Flights from Robstown's Nueces Co. Airport. Cadets Jimenez and Ziyad we selected to fly with Cadet Matthew Spencer on Stand by for the activity.
The squadron blog reported on weather all day and examined that there was a potential dangerous crosswind in the early morning that was no longer and issue by flight time. Cadets have been slowly introduced to METARs and how to read it effectively.
The O-Pilot was, again, 1st Lt Mike Ward who has done the Coastal Bend Cadet Squadron a great service in flying cadets during the after school hours.
Cadets flew to Alice and had a great time.
" It was worth it," said Cadet Jimenez on Facebook, "I got to fly today it was...awesome."
It is hoped that this type of O-Flight can continue on into Summer 2011.
