The flight, of 30 minutes duration originat ed at Moody Air Force Base, Valdosta, Georgia, where the cadet is partici pating in a four-week Air Force ROTC Summer Camp training program. The Pet orientation flight for individual cadets is the highlight of the sum mer camp at Moody AFB. One hour is spent by the pilot of the Jet prior to the take-off explaining to the ca det the operation of the controls and the many instruments on the aircraft. While in flight the cadet saw the in struments in operation and felt the reaction of the plane’s flight controls. High altitude flying equipment and Jet gear were provided since the flight was made at 20,000 feet. The summer encampment began at Moody AFB on June 22 and will end with a dress parade and review on July 18. All phases of the operation of a typical Air Force wing-base or ganization will be presented to the ca dets by lecture and on-the-job demon strations during the four weeks’ training period. The cadets live on the base in Air Force barracks and eat in regular Air Force dining halls. The AFROTC cadet must attend one summer camp training program dur ing his four years at college as an AFROTC cadet before he receives his commission as a 2nd Lt. in the Air Force Reserve. ■ NEW RECORD FOR PONTIAC Pontiac’s production of 1953 models through June has established a new all-time record, R.
