SAN FELIPE, BC - May
15,2011
Many of you may have wondered about the small flock
of yellow planes that combed the air above town during
the past weekend.
The spectacle was part of a training program for military
pilots, as the group of instructors and cadets from
the Naval School of Aviation in La Paz flew over and
visited the port of San Felipe.
This current generation of students, the XXXVII of
Naval Aviation School of the Secretary of the Navy of
Mexico, were enjoying a field trip during the last phase
of their current courses to become naval pilots.
Four
captains and 13 trainees from the aviation school enjoyed
a brief respite in San Felipe before continuing on with
their program, which began the 1st of May and ends on
July 1.
It was reported that the Naval Aviation School cadets
were training to be officers of the General Corps and
Marine graduates of the Heroic Naval Military School.
These future pilots are striving to acquire technical
expertise and master the tactical flight skills used
in aircraft operations by the Navy of Mexico.
