Welcome to the air cadets...
The Air Cadet Organization is thriving! Each year over 60,000 cadets, volunteer staff and civilian committee members help engage in pursuits and rewarding opportunities such as championing good causes in the local communities, pursuing sporting events at a national level, and even becoming international youth ambassadors.
Air Cadets aged 13 to 18 are given the chance by our team of staff and adult volunteers to learn to fly aerobatics, learn skills to lead expeditions, tour foreign countries, become target shooting marksman, join a band, learn about aviation and aerospace -only a small list of the many activities and opportunities for an enviable social life with many new friends.

With almost 41,000 members, aged from 13 to 20 years, within over 1,000 Squadrons, the ATC is one of the country's premier youth organizations and the world's largest youth air training organization. The Cadets are supported by a volunteer staff of nearly 10,000 plus some 5,000 volunteer Civilian Committee Members.
