What sets the Air Cadets aside from any other youth organisation ??

Our own fleet of gliders and powered aircraft - dedicated to giving cadets practical experience of flight, with the opportunity to gain your own glider or powered pilots licence !!

Powered Flying

 
The Grob Tutor - entered service with the Air Cadets during 2001.

Air Experience flying is available to all cadets on gaining their First Class Certificate, with the opportunity to apply for a Flying Scholarship open to older cadets (this provides free flying lessons up to solo standard)

Our local Air Experience Flight (No12 AEF) is based at RAF Leuchars, and we fly in the Grob Tutor there.

Gliding

                             
The Grob Viking winch launched glider.        The Grob Vigilant motor launced glider
