O-Flight:

Orientation rides, commonly referred to as “O” rides, have always been a popular activity for the Rhode Island Wing. These are introductory flights into the fundamentals of Civil Air Patrol and of flying. They give the cadets a first hand opportunity to interact with the flying basics and the foundation of CAP. “O” rides are utilized by all cadets including those who wish to obtain their own pilot’s licence. Those who select to attend the “o” rides reflect on them as a positive experience in their Civil Air Patrol career. The flights incorporate yet another great aspect of CAP and they are a great way for senior members and cadets to interact.
