Thirteen Cival Air Patrol cadets from the Peachtree City

Falcon Field Composite and Clay Memorial Squadrons

immersed themselves in military and aviation history during a recent

weekend. The trip included a visit to the Charleston Air Force

Base operations center, a tour of the aircraft carrier Yorktown

and Patriot's Point, The Citadel, and a rousing game of Trivia to

review the events of the weekend.

Although there were plenty of displays and things to learn

in historic Charleston and at the Air Force Base, a highlight of

the weekend was the round trip airlift provided by the Air Force in

the C-17. Cadets were able to visit the cockpit and observe the

advanced systems such as the Head Up Display (HUD) and Forward

Looking Infra-Red (FLIR) System.

Cadets who participated in the trip were: John Nelson,

Brandon Jones, "Trivia King" Ted Curran, Ben Bisch, Ryan Faucett,

David Dale, Joe Curran, and John Waters.
