Flying and Gliding
As Air Cadets we are very lucky to get the chance to fly. Gliding is undertaken in a Vigilant Glider and flying is in the Grob Tutor. If you do ever get to fly the pilot may let you take control and even nose dive, barrel rolland, and loop. You also learn the controls and how to fly straight as well as do turns when you take control, but before hand you are giving a saftey briefing just in case of an emergency, (though the chance of anything bad happening is very slim).
