I was one of the pilots who took part today, myself and my friend Gregor flew up from Prestwick in an AA-5, picked up two girls from 32F squadron ATC and took them on a short hop back to PIK, before another two of our pilots returned them to Cumbernauld and picked up another two.
I'd like to congratulate the organisers, as the cadets and Young Eagles looked thrilled to be getting the chance of a flight, and it seems to be a well-run and worthwhile scheme.
I'm proud that I got the chance to help out today, and if there are any more events like this organised in the West of Scotland, let me know, I'd love to do the same again!
(And it didn't cost us a penny!
