This is probably the biggest asset that the Air Training Corps possesses. Air cadets will all get the opportunity to fly at various stages throughout their time in the Corps, something that the ATC can offer exclusively over other youth orginisations - uniformed or not. The major PLUS being that for Air Cadets this flying training is FREE
As well as flying in the Corps own aircraft, the Tutor powered trainer or the Viking and Vigilant gliders, cadets may also get the opportunity to fly in some of the RAF's front line aircraft, such as the Nimrod, Hercules, Tucano, VC10, Sea King and many other types.
Unfortunately, you probably won't fly in a Eurofighter as most cadet flying flying takes place in the Tutor or the Viking, which are ideal aircraft to teach cadets the basic controls and simple maneuvers in the air.
These aircraft, which belong to the Corps, are spread out around the country in order that all cadets throughout the UK can get a reasonably fair share of the flying on offer. 32F Squadron fly the Tutor from 4 AEF (Air Experience Flight) at Glasgow Airport and the Viking glider from 661 VGS (Volunteer Gliding School) at Kirknewton Airfield, near Livingston and sometimes from 662 VGS at Arbroath.
