Lutz Arts and Crafts Festival 2007
Cadets worked at the annual Lutz Arts and Crafts Festival, directing traffic and parking. This two-day event provided a tough challenge with the shear volume of vehicles, but is also fun as it helps develop teamwork, problem solving, public relations, and radio skills. The Lutz Annual Arts and Crafts Festival is held the first weekend of December. This years event was held on the 1st and 2nd of December 2007.
Albert Whitted Airshow
North Tampa-Lutz Cadet Squadron was assisting with Albert Whitted Air Show on 20th and 21st of October 2007. The Cadets had a special treat when the U.S. Army Military Personnel put them through an obstacle course.
The North Tampa Lutz Cadet Squadron color guard team placed 6th overall, bringing home 3rd place trophies in standard drill and the mile run. Congratulations on a job well done to C/MSgt Micah Leon, C/A1C Tyler Ericson, C/A1C Elijah Martinez, and C/Amn Christopher Zayas. Special thanks to Captain Sandor Riholm, Second Lieutenant Eduardo Leon, First Lieutenant James Disena, C/2d Lt Trung Tran, C/2d Lt Hannah Tucker, C/Amn Alexis Zayas, and C/AB Diego Heinzerling for their support and dedication. For more pictures of the team.
Also at Cadet Competition, C/2d Lt Kenneth Bradford, C/2d Lt David Terris, and C/SMSgt William Glenn, Jr. helped out a drill team from another group in Florida, helping them take 3rd place overall. Congratulations on your success, I'm sure the cadets from the other group greatly appreciated your assistance. This years competition was held on 16th -18th November 2007 at Mac Dill AFB.
Lieutenant Colonel William Westcott gets Promoted
Major William Westcott Jr. (Florida Wing Group 3 Commander) promoted Major William Westcott to Lieutenant Colonel during the North Tampa Cadet Squadron Meeting on the 6th September 2005. This promotion has been a long time in the works. The Lt Col Westcott stayed a 1lt Lieutenant as long as he was a Major. We all thought Major Westcott Jr. was going promote before him. It only seem fitting to have Major Westcott Jr. promoted him since he use to fix his fathers uniform in the beginning.

Good-bye to Cadet Captain Jared Baxley
Saying good-bye to our former Cadet
Commander is not always easy when you have spent some of the
most important and educational years of your life with Cadet Captain
Jared Baxley. Jared Baxley has been a member of North Tampa
Cadet Squadron for 5 years. He has attended Special Activities
and many Wing and Group activities including Airfest, National Ground
Search and Rescue activities, Cadet and Florida Wing Conferences,
Encampments, and provided Community Service. For this Cadet,
entering the Air Force Academy may be scary, but a challenging
experience. The members of North Tampa Cadet Squadron can assure
that he will graduate with honors and become a role model of Civil Air
Patrol. We will all miss this fine young Cadet.
FA/18 Hornet
On August 3, we visited the Lakeland Airport to see Lt. Commander Steve "Flipper" Hartung of the U.S. Navy. Lt. Hartung walked us around his F/A 18 Hornet explaining reasons of the different parts of the plane. Afterwards, we took squadrons pictures in front of the jet, and many of us got individual pictures with Lt. Hartung. We all stayed to watch him take off, which took a little longer then expected due to bad weather, but you don't get to see that every day! The picture includes the North Tampa Cadet Squadron, Lt. Hartung, and the FA 18 Hornet.

Emergency Services Bivouac
NTCS were at Camp Brorien for an Emergency Services Bivouac. A plane crashed and the debris from the wreckage was scattered through the woods. Location of the crash site was located with communication skills and the injured passengers were carried to safety after being secured for transportation. The Cadets did a great job.
First Aid Bivouac
North Tampa Cadet, Oakhurst, Pasco East, and Skyway Bridge Squadrons were at a First Aid Bivouac that was held at the Fighters and Police Department Training Grounds. The Cadets searched for injured passengers of a crashed plane with six members to each team. When the teams arrived they found that the site was contaminated.
