427 Wing London

2 days ago

A big thanks to the RCAF and 429 Bison Squadron for bringing the CC 177 Globemaster to London Ontario today and putting the “air” back in Air Cadets.
Leaving “nothing to chance” the Bisons ensured their aircraft was fit for flight. They arrived in YXU to begin flights around 15:00 .The Cadets were happy just to see the aircraft,and ecstatic to be on an actual flight.
Around 650 Royal Canadian Air Cadets from all over southwestern Ontario were given the opportunity for a familiarization flight in the Globemaster. Highlights were flying with the aft ramp open and a short field landing.
Since the Air Cadet League of Canada came into being in April 1941, close to one million young Canadians have participated in the training program. It is estimated that in one way or another, 500,000 Canadians are involved in the Air Cadet Movement today.
121 Air Cadet Squadrons in Ontario meet between September and June. All boys and girls between the age of 12 and 18 can join.
In the summer Training Camps range from 2 to 6 weeks and include ,general, survival, band, basic aviation, advanced aviation, and glider pilots training. Local flight schools are contracted for powered flight training. To find an Air Cadet Squadron near you check out these sites:
