471 Take to the Skies!
Today, 12 cadets from 471 (Hesketh Bank & Tarleton) Squadron went to RAF Woodvale, hoping to have the opportunity to fly a Grob Tutor 115E. The day started with a briefing and safety video, before being kitted out with a flight suit and gloves. The aim of these flights within the ATC is to introduce cadets to flying, helping them get to grips with the controls, and reading the instruments, which we hope our flight simulator at the squadron helped them with. Then, the cadets may have been lucky enough to be able to perform some aerobatics, such as Cuban eights, barrel rolls, loop-de-loops and many more!
