Detail:
Our Rebel spies intercepted some Imperial transmissions regarding a mercy mission to support the local Redcliffe Air Force 212 Squadron Cadets, which happens to be the largest cadet squadron, raise sufficient funds to embark on journey to the War Memorials in Canberra next year.
The Alliance High Command dispatched two daring rebel pilots to show off to the Imperial troops how a support mission is done.
Upon gathering at the venue after 5pm, we used our combined Forces to get geared up ready to entertain the gathering crowds of attendees before the movie marathon of Big Hero 6 and the Avengers: Age of Ultron commenced on the big screen hired by the host.
Before the main movies commenced however, our host led us to room that contained not one, but two mini spitfire training props, where we had a few group pics taken.
Our host Stephen McCann from the 212 Squadron (I wonder if they have any ties to General Kenobi and Commander Cody's 212 Attack Battalion from the Clone Wars?) went above and beyond to ensure everyone was well supplied and looked after. As an added bonus, we were all given a 212 Squadron challenge coin, in thanks for our efforts with helping them raise the funds for their war memorial trip.
All in all we were very well liked by everyone, and had a great time.
Afterwards we all manned our fighters and returned to base for some well earned R and R.

Public Incidents:
It was noted that the wrangler, Mykill, exhibited some Force sensitivity during the drawing of the raffle prizes, as he somehow drew his own ticket... Though in true wrangling spirit, he shared the bounty of chocolates with the troopers present.
Since these are Jedi traits, I have contacted the Temple of the Twin Suns to keep an eye on this potential padawan.
