It's a lot of work but a lot of fun.  That is the way some of the air cadets training this summer at Harv's Air near Steinbach describe the program.  The 16 boys from western Canada began their training July 3rd and if all goes according to plan will receive their private pilot license upon completion of the program in mid-August.  18-year-old Davis King of Alberta says he's having a lot of fun making new friends and appreciates the hospitality of the local residents.  King says as a kid he always dreamed of flying and now that he's achieved that he's hoping to one day get his commercial license.  18-year-old Phil Chudy of Winnipeg says the cadet program and especially flying is tough but he says the weather conditions the last three weeks have been in their favour aside from the odd gust of wind.
