Flying
Flying is one of the most highly sought after activities in the air cadets as it is an awesome experience which gives the cadets the opportunity to take control of the RAF’s Grob Tutor, after a few flights or if the cadet is confident they also can have the chance to take part in some light aerobatics.
Target Shooting
We provide the opportunity to take part in regular target shooting in the Air Cadets. Being professionally trained, cadets will learn to shoot a range of targets and increase their marksmanship skills.
Sports Competitions
The air cadets provides a wide range of sporting activities throughout the year advancing to competitions and awards. The annual Wing Field Day is a popular event where squadrons within the Wing compete against each other in various sports and other activities.
