Pembroke Pines Composite Squadron

ALCON,

We will be having a soft launch of the glider program this Saturday , in conjunction with powered O-flights.

There is a possibility that you can do both a powered and glider O-ride during the same day.

Please note that if you want to fly only gliders, you will have to get your parents to drive you to Homestead General. Our squadron is not providing transportation at this time!

If you just want to have a powered O-flight or vice versa have your parents contact me via This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Or have this email printed out with your parents approval for the activity. I will re-announce this at the squadron meeting. But I need to have a verbal confirmation from your parent that you will be attending the O-flights. If you are not 100% sure do not sign up! There are consequences for no shows and I do not want to exercise them.

Available seniors that can help out with this activity please contact me ASAP.

We finally got glider o-rides thanks to  the efforts of two of our members. Enrique Mertins and Enrique Mertins Jr. whom were instrumental in bringing this much needed asset down to Group 6. It was the initiative of 1Lt Mertins that got it started along with the support of our squadron commander Maj. Daniel Brown , and the Florida Wing Staff. We will be keeping all of you updated as of when we will start. All flights will be flown from Homestead General (X51). Enrique Mertins Sr. is your O-ride Pilot who is checking the new glider out this weekend. Have fun!!

Thank you again and I can't wait for a demo flight.....
