I'm a firm believer in the Air Cadet program for young people and saw another indication of that program's success at the Debert airport today.  Cadets there for ground school and glider qualification were very lucky this week in that a number of them got rides in one of these vintage warbirds.

four of these vintage wings of canada planes were there today taking cadets up for what must have been very thrilling rides.

this pretty bird is a pt-26 Cornell built in 1943.  It was put into storage at that time and has quite an ownership history.  At the moment it has only 1200 hours on it.

A pretty satisfactory day for me seeing these!  these planes had toured canada last year and were also at Debert but I missed them.

this year they are doing 500 cadet flights across the country and have one more stop in Greenwood before that is finished.

I think they were planning on leaving for Greenwood later today.
