Parachuting!
Cpl Peter Hastie successfully completed
the ATC parachuting course at RAF Weston-on-the-Green this week. After
extensive training and testing he was deemed competent enough to attempt a
static line jump from 3000ft. The course is open to all cadets above the age
of 16 and costs only £60! This includes all transport, accommodation, food,
training and the jump itself. This is a unique opportunity for air cadets
and we look forward to publishing your report next month. Well Done Cpl
Hastie!....Click
