welcome to the website of 206 (Thornton Cleveleys) Squadron of
the Air Training Corps (ATC).
As a member of the ATC ("air cadets") you can learn to
fly an aircraft or glider. Air cadets can also even fly
as a passenger in an RAF Chinook helicopter, Typhoon jet or other RAF
operational aircraft.
Air
cadets participate in rifle
shooting plus take part in shooting
competitions.
There is also adventure training where air cadets can enjoy kayaking,
camping, hill walking, caving, mountain biking, winter sports plus many
more fun activities. Parachuting is another exhilarating sport that Air Cadets can get involved in. Nothing is compulsory and all are supervised by
qualified trainers.
In addition as a member of the ATC (Air Training Corps - "air cadets")
you can secure BTEC qualifications. Air cadets also have the
opportunity to gain Duke of Edinburgh awards (Bronze, Silver and
Gold).
These are just some of the many activities in the air cadets. Look around this site to see what else the Air Training Corps ("air
cadets") can offer you and also go to our forum
to see the discussions and fun there.
Whatever your nationality, background or ability, whether you're male
or female, if you're between 13 and 17 years old you can join us in the
air
cadets. |
