Aviano Cadet Booster Club

Our cadets took to the sky again, this time with our friends from the Innsbruck Glider Association and guests from BSA Troop 295 of Vicenza, Italy. The cadets and scouts received training in aircraft ground handling, flightline safety, and Wing Runner operations to help manually launch the gliders! 11 flyers changed over on an active runway, repositioned the glider, connected tow cables, coordinated with the tow pilot, and kept the day’s itinerary perfectly on schedule. The scouts, cadets, and Innsbruck cadre all met each other for the first time that morning, and expertly worked together for a fun, safe, and practically flawless day of flying! FACTA NON VERBA! ⚜️🦅🇺🇸🇦🇹🇮🇹⛰️

Congratulations to our Aviano cadets who recently graduated from the Overseas Group European Summer Encampment at Ramstein Air Base, Germany!
Throughout a demanding week, the cadets took part in leadership training, team-building exercises, character-development seminars, PT, and Air Force immersion activities. The Encampment challenged them to adapt quickly, work as a team, and maintain high standards to grow as leaders.
Aviano was represented exceptionally well - one of our cadets was the Encampment Honor Graduate, and another was the guidon bearer for the Honor Flight. Others were also selected to serve in trainee leadership roles throughout the week!
We are so proud of these cadets for accepting this challenge, persevering through a demanding week, and returning home as encampment graduates. Their accomplishment marks an important milestone and opens doors to even more advanced opportunities for them back in the US. Please join us in congratulating all of our recent encampment graduates!

The most profound endeavors in life, often begin with the simplest steps. Earlier this month, our cadets took to the skies again, this time soaring over the snow-capped Julian Alps, the 16th century Venetian star fort of Palmanova, and an old German airfield from the Second World War. It is a special privilege to see our cadets eagerly put their aviation knowledge into action and push their boundaries… FACTA NON VERBA! 🦅 🏔️ 🏞️
