Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) marks its 80th Anniversary

A youth oriented organisation that is administered and actively supported by the Royal Australian Air Force since 1941, the Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) is celebrating its 80th year.

Its mission is to develop Australian youth in a military and aviation environment. Flying, fieldcraft, adventure training, firearms safety training, drill and ceremonial, service knowledge, aeromodelling, navigation and gliding are some of the activities undertaken by the AAFC. More importantly, the AAFC teaches valuable life skills and help develop qualities including leadership, self reliance, confidence, teamwork and communication. Their fundamental aim is to foster qualities that enable cadets to become responsible young adults, who will make a valuable contribution to the community. No matter what career you choose, the AAFC provides a foundation of knowledge and skills that will assist you towards your future.
