Harv's Air Service Again Training Air Cadets
Fifteen teenage girls from western Canada are in Steinbach this summer training to become pilots. The Air Cadets are training for their private pilot license at Harv's Air Service. Captain Frieda Grulke says a typical day for the girls begins at 6 a.m. with a wake-up call. She notes they do a breakfast run around 7 a.m. and are at the airport by 8 a.m. 18 year-old Samantha Fuhr from Edmonton is taking the six week course. She says it's a great program. Fuhr is very impressed with the instructors and pleased they are being treated like adults. Fuhr is hoping to one day become a commercial pilot.
