## Caption

We welcomed our newest and youngest cadet to the Cadet Wing last Friday! 8-year-old Ryleigh Messmer spent the day with us, where she took flight at the airfield, visited the fire department, and even led a formation of cadets marching to Mitchell Hall! Ryleigh has cystic fibrosis, which affects her lungs and pancreas and joined us as part of our Cadet For A Day program. A huge thank you to @makeawishamerica and CS-40 for showing her such an incredible day! Make sure to follow our Cadet For A Day program 👉 @c4ad_usafa!
