Joining the Air Cadets opens up lots of opportunities, including the chance to fly! It’s our aim to get you airborne as often as possible, as a passenger in a light aircraft, a glider or even on-board RAF aircraft such as our Typhoon fast-jet or a Chinook helicopter.

We do our flying at RAF Cosford, and gliding at RAF Little Risington.  In addition to this we also use the PArt Task Trainers (simulators) and MOD St Athan, MOD Stafford and RAF Ternhill.

Let's not forget that these opportunities are free of charge to Air Cadets, and if you show enough ambition there are the flying, gliding and navigation scholarships too.
