I've recently quit, i got offered the place on this course just after I got the GS, it is quite hard but if your CO puts in a good word (i.e. be a good cadet!!) you'll have a higher chance
Will do. Well a Luton cadet got into the aircraft and John said, what do you want to do onthis flight, and he said, i an't bovverd mate, so john started up and taxyed as far as the kit hut and said, firstly i'm not your mate and secondly if you can't be bothered to tell me what you want to do i can't be bothered to fly you so get out.
yea, when i flew with this air marshal or vice AM i cant remember he made me fly at 250ft for a few legs it was imense specially at 120knts which is like 130mph. ive applied for the air cadet pilot scheme back in sep07 but havent heard anything yet :(
yeah exactly the same!! I was with Flg officer John may, retired Gp Cptn i think, but he got 2000+ hours on lightenings, and was the manager of the red arrows for 2 years!! then i flew over Bruntingthorpe, and saw the vulcan getting work done on it (then I learnt that the pilot that flew that very vulcan in on it's last flight was sitting next to me!!!
yea the OC 6aef at benson flew lightnings! oh its soo anoying having to wait ages! it will be phat tho! 2 weeks in scotland going solo on the grob herion (same as tutor)
ive flown with him :)
