'Other' opportunities to fly
Just in case there are any senior officers reading this thread, and they are thinking to themselves, "Don't know what all the fuss is about. There are plenty of other opportunities to fly besides the gliders." Here is a run down of my son's opportunities to fly, in the 2 years exactly, that he has been in.
Nov '14 - Grob Tutor (20mins)
Apr '15 - Chinook ride during green camp (cancelled - Aircraft u/s)
Aug '15 - Grob Tutor @ Benson (cancelled - weather)
Merlin ride @ Benson (cancelled - Aircraft u/s)
Oct '15 - Vigilant @ Syerston (cancelled - weather)
2 years in the cadets, one 20 minute spin in a tutor.
