@Julian Mulley you can go flying for a familiarization flight at any age. However to be able to be a pilot you must be at least 16 for gliders and 17 for power. If you have anymore question just let me know :)

​@@Donut_Airsoft hey its me 2 years later, I'm now a corporal in the Air Cadets and we are going to be gliding in 5 days at our base in Welland Ontario.

I smiled so much watching this. Im a glider pilot from Ontario and I found this quite amazing. Proud to say I am a part of the soaring family

That was great, bringing back lots of memories. I was in the Cadets from 1980 to 1984. I did summer camp three times, Air Studies (1981), Glider Pilot (1982), Power Pilot (1983), and then worked on ground crew my last year at the Greenwood, Nova Scotia Glider School. I also did Air Studies and Glider Pilot training there and did Power Pilot at Moncton Airport, the Moncton Flying Club. Meet a lot of great people, made some good friends, and had a great time. The Cadets is a wonderful organization and I highly recommend it for all teens.

My first and only experience in a glider was with the Air Cadets. One of the best experiences I've ever had. Great flying! Warrant 2!

im an air cadet and i have loved this video for as long as i can remember and it was one of the reason i joined cadets, and as someone who has been in a glider before this video definitely does gliding justice!!

Air Cadets awarded me a flying scholarship in 1971 and I have made aviation my career from light aircraft to Boeing 777 (current). This group gave me a piece of an important foundation that provided skills and opened doors that otherwise would not have been available. Excellent video that reflects well on the Air Cadet League of Canada. Congratulations to Rick Mercer and for heavens sake, someone send him a red knob!

Well done, Mr Mercer! The Cadet program is one of the best (if not the best) youth programs around. We are proud of these young men and women. It's rather amazing to think that because they haven't qualified for driver's license, a parent or Officer must drive the Cadet to the air field so they can get in a plane and fly. How wonderful is that, sir? Glad you enjoyed the ride. Capt T Parker

That was awesome; brought back memories of my son in Air Cadets for 5 years up until he graduated; I also had the opportunity to go up on the glider; it was wonderful; I think my heart stopped momentarily when the rope broke free ha ha ha would do it again :)

I have literally been THERE, done that. We used the winch launch at times back in the day. Thanks Rick!

I am a former air cadet and this really brings back memories. Wouldn't be where I am today without that program!

Thanks, Rick. I was in 103 sqd. in N. Vancouver when we won the cup for best squadron in Canada!

I did my Glider at Rivers, Manitoba in 1975 and my Power in Edmonton in 1977. Now reaching the end of a 43 year career as a pilot having flown 51 aircraft varieties and just under 25 thousand hours total time. Thanks Air Cadet Leaque of Canada.......you gave me a headstart in a fantastic career! And Rick, I worked with your brother at Air Atlantic too.

706 Ottawa Snowy Owl and 872 Kiwanis-Kanata. Anyone that's watching this... Join cadets. There is literally nothing to lose and A LOT to gain. Giving it a try doesn't hurt at all. Nice pick for a episode Rick :) Now come flying with us in Griffons :) ~F/SGT Esman

Found this video while my Son was taking his 1st flight with Jet Squad 768 yesterday! Awesome! 👍👍👍😀🚀

I was just up at Netook a few weeks ago. I joined the air cadets when I was 15 and have really enjoyed everything we've gotten to do and the places I've gone with the program. We even went to Maelstrom Air Force base in Montana last year. Things just keep getting better!

Bravo Zulu Netook and a big thanks to the RMR for highlighting teens doing positive things!

As an F-18 Flight Sim Tech w/ 1900 hrs+ Sim time, who gave 1000's of tours to Cadets in Bagotville. PQ & Baden Soelingen, Germany, during 7 & a half yrs in Sim, I must say - the glider flight as a passenger like Rick had was one of the highlights of my life! I also had 3.5 hrs in the real F-18 w/ in-flight refueling, I bungy jumped a 179 ft crane over land in Paris as the Concord took-off, flew a SeaKing, sailed on HMCS Preserver, swam in the middle of the Atlantic. Now I'm just bragging... :)

I'm in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. I've been with my squadron for 2 years and I've never been gliding. Every time I'm supposed to go, there's always bad weather and it sucks.

WOI Dylan Podkowka was the WOI of my three air cadets. WO2 Richards was there as well. It was a great team and those kids really grew and developed into wonderful adults. Good times for all.

nice video, nothing like the tranquility of gliding...

364 Lancaster squadron :) - I love Air Cadets. Thanks for doing this Rick!

This is typical aviator humor.

LOL he's fixated on the red knob. SOOO funny !

LOL the downside to flying commercial is you can't do any fun things in the air.... some passengers wouldn't like the idea... some of us would though. Landing in a thunder storm in Wpg was fun (when I was a cadet). That was in a 727, it got a little light in the plane when we were coming in. Taking off out of Regina last summer was fun to (737) won't say short field take off, The look on my son's face was priceless.

Well, it's safe if you ignore the duct tape holding the body together! Oh, and the load bearing paint! Awesome segment! Air Cadets made me a dork in a blue uniform. But I dork in a blue uniform who can fly an air plane!

My friends convinced me to join the air cadets. I hated it but my mom said I couldn't quit before 12 months. Looking back it was actually a pretty good experience. I wouldn't say it was worth the many hours of just marching around a school gymnasium every week, but the lessons were good.

Went gliding there when I was at ACSTC Penhold. Great memories!

735 Firebird SQD and I love every minute of Air Cadets!

that's what my experience has been :)

I would have done a hammerhead just 'cause. Plus the view from the front when you do those is just cool.

God I freaking miss gliding! and cadets in general.

I did this back when I was an Air Cadet. Really fun.

I was an Air Cadet, but my focus was PNRT/Cheer Leading :)

One of the reasons why i love being an aircadet!

Essentially yes. But from what I understand, CAP is fully run by the US Forces. Here in Canada, its part forces, part civilian (Air Cadet League of Canada)

I live not more than 5 miles south of netook. The summer before the last, I got my glider license as a sgt of 185 olds. I was going to get accepting to power this recent summer, but then 2020 happened. Hopefully next summer will work out. I really just want to get behind FQMH out at netook again. GMOG us cool and all, bit there is something really smooth about the bungee trim. I am now a WO2, recently promoted and im just waiting for transport the certify me as per federal standards and nit just "as per A-CR-CCP-242-PT005" as it says in my logbook.

I spent 6 years in air cadets the best years of my life

510 lions , glider and power , a family , meaning , a path to education, don't underestimate how many people have used cadets like the military as a means to succeed

No flame war between Air and Army cadets. lol FTW!!

Awesome!

This is now 10 years old and i wonder how many of these kids went on to become pilots in the CAF...

That was a nice landing

cool video man

3 years in the 728 squadron of LaVérendry, not a single glider ride to speak of... Sorry I missed that chance...

loved gliding back in the day with 641 squadren but we used a truck not a plane to get airborne fun times

Someday I will have that plane... :D

no I never did that. I did the instructor course in Trenton way back in the day and that was 7 years ago lol

Seems like Rick had fun lmao I'm a Flight Corporal from 1 west Montreal

No i saw the parachute. I could tell it was para also by the way the wings were pointed. glider/power wings point up, but the para wings point down. and i was at most 1m from him.

Come with the army cadets Rick!

Lucky 395 cadet gets to fly Rick. To bad he did not go to the gliding field west of St.Albert
