Beyond training, Air Cadets also focus on aviation activities including flying, gliding, and aerospace studies.
The Air Cadets program works to instill Canadian military values such as duty, loyalty, integrity, courage, and stewardship while respecting the dignity of all people and serving Canada before self, Commanding Officer Jeffery Langford explained in a media release.
The 707 is named after Marion Orr, an aviation pioneer and trailblazer not just for women in aviation but for all Canadians, the media release states.
