Seventeen members of Millington Composite Squadron recently participated in some flight simulator training courtesy of FedEx. The event was attended by ten cadets and seven senior members who got to experience what it was like to fly a jumbo jet. FedEx opened two Boeing 777 flight simulators and one MD-11 for the four hour event held at the FedEx Air Operations Training Center in Memphis. Prior to the event, one of the instructors from FedEx came to a cadet meeting and conducted a ground school cockpit familiarization course to help prepare them for the experience.
Aerospace Education is one of the three missions of Civil Air Patrol, with Emergency Services and Cadet Programs being the other two. This was a great hands-on AE learning opportunity that was both fun and educational. Thank you to FedEx and the sim operator employees for your generosity and interest in promoting aviation to our members.
