✈️ No engine? No problem!
On September 20, the cadets had the incredible opportunity to experience gliding, which is such a cool part of the Air Cadet program!
So, what exactly is gliding? A glider is an aircraft without an engine. It is initially towed into the air by another aircraft and, once released, uses its aerodynamic design and rising air currents to stay aloft and soar through the sky. It’s quiet, smooth and gives cadets a completely different perspective on flight. 🛩️
For many cadets, gliding is their first opportunity to experience flight in a small aircraft, and maybe even the beginning of a future in aviation. 🤔
Judging by these photos, September 20 was a pretty great day to be an Air Cadet! 💙✈️

Canada’s cadet movement is much older than many people realize, with Army Cadets dating to 1879, Sea Cadets to 1895 and Air Cadets to 1941.

Today, roughly 52,000 young Canadians between 12 and 18 participate in the program through corps and squadrons spread across the country.

The three branches share training in leadership, citizenship, physical fitness and teamwork before branching into their specialized sea, land and aviation activities.

Girls were formally admitted to the program in 1975 and now make up more than 30% of Canadian cadets.

The alumni list has some remarkable names, including Canadian astronauts Chris Hadfield, Marc Garneau and Jeremy Hansen.

Most units operate close to home during the school year, usually meeting one evening a week with additional weekend and summer opportunities around the country.
