Unfortunately we just received word that due to weather affecting preparations for the aircraft and pilots for this season of gliding, gliding this weekend is cancelled.
We will be gliding again in the Fall as a Squadron. Details to be announced in September.
Note: The squadron calendar has been updated.

All;
Thank you to all cadets and parents that were helping at tagging this past weekend. We had a great weekend tagging, even considering the weather. Tagging keeps the lights on, the building up, and sends you on trips throughout the year like our Washington Trip last year, bowling, sports nights, and this years end-of-year trip to name just a few.
Special thank you to the cadets that managed 4 shifts, you are an inspiration to the squadron!
