Experience the life of a WWII Aviation Cadet in this day long immersion experience. Your day begins with check in and flight gear issue(loaned). You will have both ground and flight instruction as your instructor guides you through your first day as a WWII Aviation cadet. This is an "immersion" experience designed to be realistic in how the cadets were treated upon arriving for the first day of training. You decide how realistic you'd like your experience to be in terms of how your Captain will relate to you.
The experience includes a total of 2 flight hours in the PT-19 broken up into 3 training flights, about 3.5 hours total of classroom/ground instruction; instructor time and training videos, lunch served in a "mess kit".
