4 Goole Air Cadets recently got their first taste of flight recently. The Cadets from Goole Squadron attended RAF Church Fenton’s 9 Air Experience Flight. The Flight provides Air Cadets a taste of flight in a powered aircraft and later trains them to go solo. The cadets were each given a 25 minute flight in the Tutor aircraft, flown by an experienced pilot. This was the first time 4 of them had taken to the air. During their flight they were encouraged to take control of the aircraft, experience aerobatics and put into practice what they have learnt about how an aircraft works, navigation and other aviation related subjects. The majority of the cadets also got to fly over their homes, making the flight more memorable. After the cadets had flown the staff, who had taken them, also got the opportunity to of a flight. CI Wallen said “For some of the cadets this is their first ever flight and one they will never forget”.
