NFA JROTC Experience Once in a Lifetime Flight Opportunity

Earlier this month, the NFA NY-095 AFJROTC got to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity. The students experienced a flight on a C-17 Globalmaster III with an in-flight refueling demonstration. The cadets got to rotate up to the cockpit and view the KC-135 refueling the C-17.

The experience was due in large part to Stewart ANG Base and MSgt Sara Ruggiero Pastorello for making this day possible for our cadets.

Colonel Edward Seward and Master Sergeant Christian Granda advise JROTC at Newburgh Free Academy.
