Take to the skies of the Cotswolds in a glider, or take a powered flight in a Grob Tutor. Learn the skills and enjoy the experience of flight over Oxfordshire.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths are key skills and elements of the Cadet Corps Syllabus training through theory and practical activities and sessions.
Support local organisations, promote community awareness and demonstrate the qualities of a good citizen in the local area. All members of 136 Squadron actively support the North Cotswold area.
Squadron life includes bag packs and other fundraising activities in the local community. All with the aim to support the squadron and associated charities.
Develop skills which build confidence in decision making and team leading through challenges and activities which will grow in to qualifications and skills to support promotion and personal growth.
Gain skills in cooking and surviving on expeditions and Duke of Edinburgh trips. Have fun on away days and walks with others and build strong frienships.
Cadets work in groups to complete tasks and activities to achieve goals and targets. Teamwork skills are crucial for life in the RAFAC as well as personal life. Learn how to become a key player in a team and support each other to succeed.
Cadets complete syllabus training and learning which underpins great experiences within the Air Cadets. This includes subjects such as Principles of Flight, Air Navigation and Military Systems. As Cadets progress through the squadron, they earn the right to teach these subjects and support fellow cadets with their development. Skills which ignite enjoyment of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects and fuel careers in amazing industries.
All Cadets in the RAFAC learn about the history of the Air Cadets and the Royal Air Force. Including its role, operations and development of aircraft since 1918. Cadets also learn about the engineering and physics of flight and aircraft design. Demonstrated through activities and flight sim training.
