Share the love for our favorite summer NCSA!

Using the backdrop of EAA's Airventure airshow, cadets hone their servant leadership skills. Through volunteer service to EAA by marshaling aircraft, finding overdue aircraft, working with exhibitors, and helping manage ultralight flightline operations, cadets experience first-hand one of the world's largest aerial events, gain emergency services experience, and practice teamwork.

The final issue of Behind the 8 Ball for 2024 is UP! In it, we profile the Snyder family, whose route to NBB annually poses challenges - and rewards, an interview with a F-16 Demo Team pilot, a treatise on the Beret Family, and we sit down with the Foxtrot Flight TAC, 2nd Lt Caldwell - to reflect on how Beret has changed since her time as a cadet.
