A busy Friday for 859sqn and 1145 City of Dunfermline Squadron RAF Air Cadets!

Cadets from both squadrons had the fantastic opportunity to take to the skies during an Air Experience Flying day in the Grob Tutor. These flights provide cadets with a chance to experience flying first-hand, build confidence, and gain a greater understanding of aviation from the cockpit.

Air Experience Flying is one of the many unique opportunities available through the RAF Air Cadets, giving young people the chance to develop new skills, create lasting memories, and inspire future ambitions.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the day possible and ensuring the cadets had such an enjoyable and memorable experience. We hope everyone had an amazing time, and we look forward to seeing many more cadets take to the skies in the future!
