Cadets worked on achievements, practiced drill and operated the flight simulator. Kenai Cadets continue to present required Safety, Aerospace, Character Development and Leadership lessons. One great presentation was by C/A1C Luke Cole described his experience at the Encampment at Wendover Air Force Base at the border of Utah and Nevada. He flew from Anchorage to Fairbanks to Seattle to Salt Lake City and took a van to Wendover AFB. A typical day meant waking up at 5:30 and meeting at the flagpole area. All day long he cleaned and cooked. He worked all day long. Cadets from Nevada, Colorado and Alaska formed four flights. Cadet Cole

stated the work was hard and the people he met were great. Cadets made box kites one afternoon. The Hargrave brothers from Australia invented them in 1893. It was a wonderful experience. Also, the recent flights into space by Richard Branson and Bezos were discussed. New Cadet fliers designed by Mrs. Parshall were made and distributed in our community. We are always welcoming new cadets. Cadets continue to get O Rides and study Aeronautics. Kenai cadets continue to set a good example in our community and state.
