00:01.600 --> 00:04.900
- [Mark] Civil Air Patrol
is the official auxiliary

00:04.900 --> 00:07.040
of the United State Air Force.

00:07.040 --> 00:09.740
And it's got three basic missions:

00:09.740 --> 00:12.040
emergency services, cadet programs,

00:12.040 --> 00:13.700
and aerospace education.

00:13.700 --> 00:17.080
So what we're doin'
today is we are focusing

00:17.080 --> 00:19.670
on two of those particular missions,

00:19.670 --> 00:22.450
cadet programs and aerospace education.

00:22.450 --> 00:27.360
The cadets have the opportunity
to go on orientation flights

00:27.360 --> 00:29.260
in a Cessna 182.

00:29.260 --> 00:31.830
And what we're tryin'
to do is combine that

00:31.830 --> 00:35.770
with tours of some of the air
traffic control facilities.

00:35.770 --> 00:37.510
What that's gonna do is it's gonna help

00:37.510 --> 00:41.030
grow the relationship
between the Tucson community

00:41.030 --> 00:43.670
and Davis-Monthan Air
Force Base as a whole,

00:43.670 --> 00:46.040
in addition to just
grooming tomorrow's leaders,

00:46.040 --> 00:47.640
our future airmen.

00:47.640 --> 00:51.340
- [Alana] Today was a big
orientation flight for cadets.

00:51.340 --> 00:53.900
A lot of 'em, it's their
first flight up in the plane

00:53.900 --> 00:55.500
so it's a big opportunity for them.

00:55.500 --> 00:57.250
I loved every second of it.

00:57.250 --> 01:01.390
It's really fun, and it's
interesting, and cool,

01:01.390 --> 01:04.010
being up in the plane, flying it yourself,

01:04.010 --> 01:06.370
and learning all of the
technical instruments

01:06.370 --> 01:08.060
that goes into flying a plane.

01:08.060 --> 01:12.000
It's been a lot of fun, super
interesting, a lot to learn;

01:12.000 --> 01:14.450
behind the scenes on how to fly

01:14.450 --> 01:17.680
and all of the other
jobs that are offered.

01:17.680 --> 01:19.488
Cadets get to learn a lot today.

01:19.488 --> 01:22.071
