Captain Tim "Donor" Woods With CRGS & TACSTC cadets

Captain Tim Woods, a former cadet of 735 "Firebird" Squadron and CIC Officer with 715 "Mohawk" Squadron, and pilot of the 2009 CF-18 "Hornet" demonstration aircraft, briefed CRGS and Trenton Summer Training Centre cadets when attending the Trenton airshow.  Captain Woods has given generously of his time to meet with Air Cadets from across Canada as part of his appearances at more than 30 airshows last summer. 

Many thanks Captain Woods; you are a true Air Cadet and an outstanding role model for those following in your footsteps!
