This afternoon, cadets from NNCS, Coastal, and Langley squadrons met in Newport News to ride on an Army Chinook helicopter. But the ceiling just wouldn't lift and conditions weren't optimal for flights.
The SMs are thankful for another learning opportunity for our cadets; sometimes no matter how well you plan, things just don't work out.
But, we'll get it rescheduled soon and we're all looking forward to it!

Our Lt Col Borgerding. Congratulations on the Mid Atlantic Region Aerospace Education Teacher of the Year.
Aerospace Education moment:
Did you experience some not so normal electrical activity including minor internet and cellular disruptions last night? Then what you witnessed and experienced was the effects of a geomagnetic storm from a coronal mass ejection from the sun. This phenomenon has been observed now for a few days from various space observation agencies, NASA, and NOAA as our sun has been going through some weather changes of its own producing these ejections. Often times these events are related to cyclic sun spot activity or erratic changes near the surface of the sun which could affect it’s wind currents. Various articles which can be found predict that this is only part of a series of potential activity which could be witnessed from observation devices or similarly display affects in our magnetosphere as observed last night. Though these events do not pose an immediate threat or danger to us here on the surface of the Earth, these solar ejections can damage the sensitive equipment aboard orbiting satellites and cause quality of life disruptions to services like internet accessibility, GPS and cellular service. Nonetheless, in higher latitude areas of the planet, geomagnetic storms can produce some of the best auroral light shows in the sky.
