'Cool Air | Relished By Cadets Fine weather and the train- ing of 16 air cadets have made the last month a particularly busy one for the Oshawa Fly- ing Club. The cadets, all schol- arship winners, are returning to their homes this week with their private pilots' licenses. During a month at the Oshawa Flying Club, they put in 35 hours of flying and 40 hours of ground school. The government - supervised training includes a c-ross- country flight to Victoria Road, north of Lindsay, and back via Buttonville, an airport north of Toronto, During the recent hot weather, it has often been 10 or more degrees cooler in the air than on the ground. On cross-country flights over Lake Scugog, the cadets relished the cool air, while people below could be seen packed on the beaches, TWO SOLO FLIGHTS Club members like John St. Pierre and Ardis McArthur have also received their private pilot's licenses. Cecil Mounce and Shirley Macdougall have made their first solo flights, and are looking forward to the; time when they have their) licenses. : | Strong local interst in sport- ing flying is reflected in the continuing influx of new mem- bers.
