I have to say Lee, it was a great video and brilliant to watch. I'm actually doing my work experience at Cranwell this summer and your great video really does make me wish for it to come quicker. I gather you're an air cadet too...What wing/sqn are you fom?

[whiteass92]

[jakem1900]

[07dajones]

my air-scout explorer unit went to an air experience flight at raf cranwell.... in tutors, they did aerobatics n stuff

[a388fan]

I don't suppose many people realise this, but Air Cadets is a great organisation which offers free flying oportunities that every pilot wanna be would take. It's free log book hours and lessons. To EVERY air cadet,i would recommend the Gliding Scholarship and Pilot and Navigator scheme!!! Take the oportunities while you still can!

[Directorchristhomas]

Well said :-)

[temaskell08]

i love cadets but unfortunatly i dident get a gliding Scholarship

[leethomas123]

a an aircadet my first flight was a week after my 13th birthday

[dudeyfish999]

funny that cos your not supposed to be allowed to fly until at least 13 and 3 months.

[charlieechovictor]

I flew for the first time I was 9 years old instruction flight... But it wasn't like starting a formation. it was just an instruction flight...

[cheezy2k5]

@dudeyfish999 your alloud to fly younger than that with civis jsut not with the RAF, you can go solo till your 16 tho

[4643stewart]

What was the experience you did classed as?

[kingairflyer6]

Thanks for this great video !!!

[dangreaves92]

Great video. I heard Chris Barnes had something to say after you used his phrase "Cool beans" in the gliding video :D

I was just wondering what camera you used to film all this, it's great quality.
