Mig's Orientation Flight

The Civil Air Patrol Mission:  Transform youth into dynamic Americans and aerospace leaders

Part of fulfilling this mission is providing cadets the opportunities to fly and learn about flying planes. 

Mig had his orientation flight in October. 


The Civil Air Patrol flies Cessna planes with an adult squadron leader.




He teaches them how to do the preflight checklists and more. 





They take their flight over Denton County and to Gainesville to fuel up and then back to our home airport. 



Once they get up to 2,500 feet, the leader lets the cadets take the reigns. Mig at just a few days over 13 years old flew a plane!!! That just blows me away! 


Mig is really enjoying the program and all of the opportunities it provides!
