164 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron holds annual Ceremonial Review By JASEN OBERMEYER With the warm and beautiful weather this past weekend, Shelburne's 164 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron held it's 42nd annual ceremonial review, recognizing and celebrating the squadron's accomplishments this past training year. The ceremony, held at Shelburne's Fair Ground this past Saturday, June 10, saw the 65 cadets (the most in recent years) demonstrate their precision and professionalism with their drills and ceremonial marching. The reviewing officer was Captain Duncan Morrison. Several events the cadets did this year saw them doing gliding twice, two Field Training Exercises, and a few cadets were able to attend a three hour flight simulator session. After the inspection, the squadron conducted a series of exhibition displays, including an air rifle marksmanship demonstration, and a band demonstration by the Piper and Drums. Although several spoke to the cadets for their skills and performance, the squadron's commanding officer, Captain Chris Luxemburger's words were simple, congratulating this year's cadets for everything they've achieved. “You guys have done a great job in doing what exemplifies a cadet.” Following the demonstrations was the awards presentations for the cadets: Best Recruit Male: Andrew Margiotta.
