RBAI pupils experienced their first flight since lock downs began. In 2019, an Air Experience Flight (AEF) was established at Joint Helicopter Command Flying Station Aldergrove.
13 AEF's role is to provide experience of flying for the University Air Squadron and Air Cadets in Northern Ireland. However, due to lock downs and an unfortunate series of cancelled sorties, our pupuls have only now had the opportunity to experience flying and performing aerobactics. It is to the credit of the cadets who stuck with the organisation through difficult time, when high-value activities were not available. On Wednesday, their patience was rewarded.
