Familiarization Flying
The Squadron has rented two cessna 172 aircraft on 8 March 2014.  Both aircraft can fly 3 Cadets each.  There will be a signup sheet available starting this week.  Please signup for a time slot (10am-2pm every 40 min) .  You can partner with 2 others and fly together if you wish.  Please write down what time you signed up for!

Cadets are asked to be at the Regina Flying Club 15 min before their flight.  NO UNIFORMS and Dress warm…remember it will be colder when you are in the air.  The flight last approx 40 minutes including taxiing.  Parents, due to very limited space, we ask that you stick around if possible so you are there when the flight ends to take your Cadet home.
