Having met the challenging criteria for entry to the scheme the two cadets, flight sergeant Will Fovargue, and cadet warrant officer Alex Myers, both 18, completed a 12-day course in Dundee during which they flew in the A211 Aquila light aircraft.
FS Will Fovargue said: “I found the Air Cadet Pilot Scheme unforgettable. To begin with it was far more challenging than I ever anticipated however the quality of instruction and training at Tayside Aviation is flawless; I owe it to them for achieving my first solo flight in only 11 hours. I’d recommend this course to anybody who has a passion for flying because you will learn skills that will stay with you for life”.

Hide AdCWO Alex Myers (18) commented: - “The Air Cadet Pilot Scheme I see as the pinnacle of cadet achievement, the objective of the course defines the Air Cadets. Flying Solo for the first time is the most exhilarating thing I have done so far, writing myself as the ‘Pilot in Command’ in my log book is something I hold with great pride.”
