(Though that's not a cub is it?) And i desperatly want to take up gliding, but i can't afford that right now "Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were.

And i desperatly want to take up gliding, but i can't afford that right now The plane is a Bellanca Scout. The pilot did 35 tows, releases, and landings through the day. It is definately peaceful. Although the clouds were really rolling in so the gliders were only taken up to 5000 feet. cicopo wrote in post #10985923 The photos certainly back up your title, and it's good to see our youth following such a dream. Thanks for the photos & being a part of their mentoring. Thanks. I have been active on the parent sponsoring side and the executive committee for a few years. As of this year, I have enrolled into the reserves so I can recieve my commissioning as an officer. Steve

cicopo Goldmember More info | Sep 27, 2010 11:21 | #11 As someone who was one of those kids (a long time ago) I can honestly say that many of the skills I use today were gained through the mentoring of the adults at my Navy League, followed by Sea Cadets & finally the Air Force Reserve. It's a great system to teach respect, manners & life skills that can form you in ways you never realized at the time, so good for you.

It's a great system to teach respect, manners & life skills that can form you in ways you never realized at the time, so good for you. I had the same opporotunity growing up so I feel compelled to help out. The added bonus is both of my sons are in the squadron I work with. FlyingPhotog wrote in post #10986983 Great Series! Kudos to you for supporting such a worthwhile program. Thanks Jay. Besides, how else am I going to get access to the runways. Steve

And for the Canadian members here, you don't have to join the reserves to help out. You can always be a Civilian Instructor and get most of the same access to the runways as the officers Steve
