Kingsville. Texas- Cadets Tybie Davis and Micaela Irizarry had their first CIVIL AIR PATROL Orientation flights at Kleberg Co. Airport on Monday, 26 March 2012 under the guiding hand of Major Jerry Lunceford, Commander of the Corpus Christi Composite Squadron.
The cadets enjoyed themselves and found the minor demonstration fo NEGATIVE G's to be especially interesting.
"There is a lot of science in aviation," said Major J.E. Carrales, "I want to teach them so much and give them there experiments."
Cadets are currently scheduled to fly again on Wednesday, this time it will be a three cadets instead of 2. The recent time changes allows and will eventually allow ever more afternoon O-Flights.
