I agree with you Above The Clouds.
In a past life I have had a number of military fast jet and helicopter jaunts,been winched out of a lifeboat in to a Sea King and enjoyed RAF,Army and Navy sponsored hospitality in the UK and abroad when working for the BBC.
RAF jet experience flights require a medical plus ejection instruction and kit out. I do not think any junior cadet would be allowed. In my 35 years of flying the only time I have ever been airsick was in a Hawk downwind at RAF Valley. I managed the whole low flying routine in the Ogwen Valley but Harry The Pilot was determined to get me. Those of you ex fast jet school will know who I am talking about. Clue anagram,airshow organiser.
Carol is doing a good job in a low key way encouraging youngsters to join the cadets.
If you look at the pictures I posted she is at the back of the group and not sporting any sort of 'clown' suit.
I am sure the cadets in that picture came away having had a nice day but the publicity may well have inspired other young people to think about about a Forces career.
