183 Typhoon Squadron, Kincardine Air Cadets, welcomed Col. Robert J. Wadsworth (retired) to review the troops at the annual inspection ceremony Sunday afternoon at the Davidson Centre. Wadsworth said this is the first time he has done an inspection since he left Cadets at the age of 17."I remember being on that parade square when I was 13 as a new Air Cadet," he said. "Be proud to be an Air Cadet. Everything you learn will help you through life." He congratulated the troop leadership, the parents and volunteers for maintaining the Air Cadet Corps which is difficult to do in today's society. Wadsworth said that later in his career, he took a flight course and had to go up in an F-18. "My advice to you is, don't go up in an F-18 after you've had a supper of steak, Caesar salad and beer," he joked. "It's not a good thing. "Congratulations to you all. I'm proud to be here and proud of your service to your community." The Cadets completed drills and demonstrations for the crowd, followed by the presentation of awards to the following:
 Kincardine Legion president Maureen Couture (L) presents the Most Proficient Junior NCO award to F/Cpl. Aaron Gordon "You make me very proud," he said. "This is the 10th annual review I have attended and it's the finest I've ever seen. You've accomplished great things this year, and my thanks to the staff and volunteers, the Legion, the sponsoring committee and the municipality for all their support of this group." 2Lt. Robert Grey, commanding officer, also congratulated the troop on its fine performance. This was his final parade in uniform as he is retiring as commanding officer. There will be a change of command in September. He reminded the crowd that the Air Cadets are helping the Kincardine Lions Club with the Highway 21 clean-up on June 11; tag day is June 18; and the Cadets will be part of Canada Day July 1, and the ABC Gathering at the Kincardine Airport on July 31. Then it's back to training in September. The review ended with the departure of the reviewing officer, dismissal of the parade, and refreshments.
