If you were a cadet you should look at joining. Would be good to get an alumni going.

 

Cheers,

My eldest grandson has been an air cadet in Armidale, NSW for a number of years now. He is a corporal and loves it. He has done numerous camps at air force bases, flown gliders and been for flights in powered aircraft at Tamworth. Can't recommend it high enough!!!

I was sucked in when on my very first night we went to archerfield for a fly in a caribou.

LOVED IT! biggest thrill? .... last flight of the day at a sports day at RAF Henlow in a Chippy when the instructor coached me round the circuit 'till just over the fence ..... WOW. HOOKED. (Still am actually!)

My Flight Lt in my flight was telling us that when he was a cadet (late 40's) they let the cadets get into a mustang and fire off the cannon's. Coudl you imagine doing that today...
