A call to Air Cadets

on .

Late in July and thoughout August every year, RVS receives inquiries from young people seeking to continue the flight training begun with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.

Our club is equipped with the same 2-33 trainer that many cadets have flown and are accustomed to. A good number have the goal of earning their GPL and returning to the Air Cadet League the following year for power training or to become glider instructors.

If you're an Air Cadet and interested in joining RVS, bring your documentation out to the airfield during normal operating hours and one of our instructors can provide you with information about joining the club and reaching your goals. Take a look at our Joining and Fees pages for a good idea of the process and costs involved.
