Towcester Raf Air Cadets Description
As a cadet you'll have the opportunity to do things that others only dream about. Want real flight experience? No problem. How about heading out on adventurous training and camps, sometimes overseas? Normal for cadets. Competitive sports, drill, shooting, music, abseiling, engineering projects? Our list of activities is long, varied and open to all cadets. Yes it's a challenge, but that's what life's all about. All information taken from the official Air Cadets website in January 2014. Site is at this link - http://www. raf. mod. uk /aircadets /

I think there’s a cadet in here somewhere? #NoOrdinaryHobby

This is the view cadets from Towcester had last month when they had the opportunity to fly in a Tutor T1, one of the RAF’s main training aircraft. After being given a demonstration of the Tutor’s capabilities (including some aerobatic manoeuvres!), they were able to take control themselves and get a feel for what it’s like to be a pilot! #NoOrdinaryHobby
