Paul Dittmann in honour of RRMC Grad Class of 1990

At Roads, I spent 4 unforgettable and very formative years of my life my closest friends with whom I still speak daily. As the Wing Duty Cadet […] we knew every ditch and hideout on the whole 640 acres. It’s amazing the fun we had and that we actually passed any of our exams. Sign me up and I’ll do it again.
