robinsm Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 My eldest grandson has been an air cadet in Armidale, NSW for a number of years now. He is a corporal and loves it. He has done numerous camps at air force bases, flown gliders and been for flights in powered aircraft at Tamworth. Can't recommend it high enough!!!
