5 Cyclone Aviation Coloring Book Contest - Spring 2020

Is this time of isolation driving crazy? Need a break from online school? Want to simply relax and chill. What a better way than to color. The squadron training department has been hard at work to find aviation coloring books for you to enjoy. They are located on our squadron website at https://www.5cycloneaircadets.ca/aviation-coloring-books.html .

To promote this new activity, Capt Tanguay is sponsoring this spring's Aviation Coloring Book Contest. The rules are simple. Produce an original artwork based on the supplied coloring books or any other aviation related coloring pages online that is royalty-free (Google is your friend to find some). 

The artwork must be hand made by a cadet. Submissions are to be scanned and sent as a jpg file to [email protected] before 1 May 2020. The winner will be announced soon after in May.

The prize for the best artwork will be An Aviation FactFile on Military Helicopter, a hardcover book by Robert Jackson.

5 Cyclone/Cadets/Aviation themed artwork

In another effort to engage cadets we want you to show your creative side, and we are calling on all cadets with an artistic flair to create some 5 Cyclone/Cadets/Aviation themed artwork to be used in some future squadron publications or even on our social media pages.

You can create the artwork in any medium you prefer, whether it is hand-drawn or painted and then digitized or digitally rendered art created graphically directly on your computer.
The rules are as follows:

• All submissions must be made via Facebook message to 5 Cyclone Air Cadets, emailed to [email protected] or shared via Google Drive to [email protected],
• The art must reflect the 5 Cyclone squadron identity, the air cadet program or aviation in general. Any combination of these themes would also be accepted,
• You are welcome to use the 5 Cyclone Squadron logo or Air Cadet crest if you wish, but you must refrain from using any other design that is not your own. Please do not plagiarize someone else’s work,
• Flights will get one point per artwork that is submitted (so if you submit more than on, you can win your flight multiple points).

All of the submissions will be reviewed and the best ones will be posted online on our internal Facebook page and if there are some really good ones, we may post them to our public social media pages or use them in future squadron publications.

Here is an example of a design that was made by Captain Tanguay for the Drill Team

Social Media - Cadet Profile


For those that have been keeping track of our social media posts on our public Facebook page and Instagram, you may have noticed that we have introduced a new series this year where we profile current 5 Cyclone Squadron cadets on Social Media. So far we have profiled 8 cadets, and these were some of our most liked posts!

We are looking for more volunteers for these posts on our public pages.

If you would like to potentially be profiled on our social media pages, please fill out the following form. Please give as much detail as you can in your answers.

If you are chosen for a profile, the Social Media team will let you know and ask you if you have any favourite cadet photos you would like us to use in your profile (otherwise, we will find some in the squadron archives).

This is completely voluntary, if you do not want to be profiled, you do not need to answer.
