Air Experience Flight
For many people flying is crossing the border in large commercial aircraft's high above the United Kingdom. For cadets it's an amazing, thrill ride. All cadets after passing their first class examination can go on a Air Experience Flight (AEF). No other organization in the U.K. offers young adults the chance to take control and fly a Grob Tutor next to a experienced pilot. Best of all its free!
Furthermore, cadets who go on annual camps can also get the chance to fly in many other military aircraft including the VC10, Hercules, Puma, Chinook, Sea King and many others.
