Opportunity flights:

Apart from the AEF aircraft, many Air Cadets also get the opportunity of flying in a variety of other RAF aircraft.

Some lucky individuals are put forward for passenger flights in 'fast jets'.

During their 'careers' many Air Cadets will have flown in a variety of Service aeroplanes and helicopters - sometimes in the capacity of Supernumerary Crew. It is not unusual for some of these flights to include trips overseas. Most of these flights take place during Annual Camps when Cadets visit an RAF Station.

Those Air Cadets with an aptitude for flying can apply for a number of courses, including Flying and Gliding Scholarships.
