hope in attendance charitable donation receipt fighter pilot wows kids thursdays excellent presenta tion by a canadian airforce fighter pilot had students from ballantrae public school clamor ing to learn more captain david deere based in cold lake alberta described the qualifications and training methods required to achieve the ultimate goal of flying f18s as part of canadas defence force in addition to a slide presenta tion he showed a film of pilots in flight training comparing the movie top gun to real life his squadrons job he explain ed is to monitor soviet air traf fic and if necessary to intercept planes flying too close to cana dian air space we intercept their planes quite often captain deere declared they do come close to see how fast we react the at mosphere is very friendly as the planes fly side by side we take their picture and they take ours he noted pointing out that the squadrons role is defensive rather than aggressive his job he said has taken him to bermuda florida and hawaii as well as the chillier climes of inuvik where the temperature averages minus 40 celsius we have a sister squadron in california he told the students we fight f14s f15s and f16s there we usually do very well against them if you want to become a fighter pilot your first step is to go to a recruiting centre advised cap tain deere they will start screening to see if you are suitable sometimes you will be pressured to try something else in the service he cautioned youve got to be determined to get what you want captain deere outlined the dif ferent options for successful ap plicants which range from four years of university and four years of service to entry as a cadet with no university training there are no pilots who havent got at least one or two years of college training its worth going to university or col lege if not for the education then for the parties he quipped after an exhaustive training perhaps one or two of 20 students will be selected as fighter pilots and will start training on an f5 its a good plane for learning how to fly and fight after six months and 100 hours successful graduates start flying f18s your fourth flight is solo said captain deere thats how fast they want you to learn the grade 6 7 and 8 students had plenty of questions to ask in cluding how high the planes fly 72000 feet whether captain deere had every blown anyone up no
