The Canadian Air Cadet program has had to cancel this summers gliding and powered airplane camps due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a gut punch to those selected as they will probably not get another opportunity to learn to fly. The good news is the Air Cadets are well into a factory remanufacture program for their 2-33 gliders. They are going back to the factory and getting a total overhaul with a 20 year life extension. This combined with the recent new tow plane program will ensure that a robust gliding program will be maintained for the foreseeable future.
