A message from Captain Nick Sacco:

Good Morning Southern Nevada, 

On top of the day-to-day orientation flights already planned, we have set up orientation flights to Embry Riddle. On Oct 28th the university is having an open house. We are going to take as many cadets as possible. If you're selected, you will receive a separate email with a permission slip detailing where to meet and show time. Please be aware this will be an all-day event. We will be departing before dawn.
