GGC again hosted a cadet fly week for the top five cadet pilots from the 5 regional gliding schools across Canada during the week of August 27th.
Although this event had to be rescheduled due to the use of GGC facilities by our rotary wing guests, club members under the guidance and leadership of Doug, came out to instruct, tow, run flight operations or just plain dive into the enthusiastic environment.

After a short GGC familiarization briefing the cadets where immersed in a true soaring environment which included instruction in advanced airmanship, thermalling and an aerobatics familiarization flight during the week in our Puchacz and ASK-13. Evening programs in thermalling, aerobatics and early cross country techniques were also presented during the week.
Thanks to everyone who made this week a success again this year.
Special thanks to Doug for taking on the coordination and execution of the event part way through the summer season. Bravo Zulu GGC!
