I’d like to give a huge thank you to Lt Col Grace Edinburgh for serving as the Coordinator for the Wing Cadet Competition.  These events are difficult to put on, as they rely on a large amount of precise preparation and specialized facilities to conduct a fair & exciting competition.  

Thank you’s are also in order for Lt Col Edinburgh’s staff – without their assistance, we could not put on an activity like this:

I look forward to ALL eight California Wing Groups competing in Wing Cadet Competition next year in 2021.  Start practicing now so we can have an even exciting and challenging event!
