Foreword by Air Commodore Jon Chitty, Commandant Air Cadets
Welcome to the Air Cadets - 'The Next Generation'. Cadets in your local Air Training Corps (ATC) and Combined Cadet Force
(CCF(RAF)) are enjoying flying, gliding, going on camps, taking part in all kinds of action, adventure and sports. It’s
great fun too, with the opportunity to enjoy an enviable social life and make many new friends. How far are YOU from having
a good time?
Air Cadets, aged 13 to 20, and their supporting staff get the opportunity to participate in a large range of stimulating
and rewarding activities. Where else could you learn to fly aerobatics, visit Royal Air Force Stations, tour foreign countries,
play sports from local to International level, learn the skills to lead expeditions, become a target shooting marksman, gain
your Duke of Edinburgh's Awards, canoe through white water, assist your community, join a band, learn aviation subjects, go
caving, parachute, climb, sail, ski...? These and much more are readily available to you as a member of the Air Cadet Organization,
whether you are a cadet or staff member.
As you explore the web site you will be able to discover much more about how you could be a part of the Air Cadet Organization
- whether as a cadet taking advantage of the opportunities available, a staff member volunteering your time to contribute
to the development of young people or as one of our many civilian supporters ensuring we have the ability to support our 'next
generation'.
