The InsideAIR team handed the mic to @aircadets for a special episode recorded live at @airtattoo 🎙️

Cadet Flight Sergeants Hannah & Tori take you behind the scenes & chat with RAF personnel about the role Cadets play in shaping the RAF’s future.

[Tim Peake @astro_timpeake]

From recognising talented young engineers, to meeting Scouts, Guides, school children and cadets and getting to see some amazing aircraft both in the air and on the ground - @airtattoo 2025 you delivered!

Thank you to everyone involved who puts so much hard work into the weekend and the volunteers (including lots of @aircadets ) who help make it all happen.

As a young child my Dad took me to air shows and that sparked my passion for aviation and engineering. Events like this and the brilliant Techno Zone help inspire and show parents and young people what careers are possible for the future generations of STEM talent.

We are looking forward to #RIAT 2025. But what better way to arrive than in the back of an A400M? ✈️

That’s how 12 Air Cadets arrived this morning!

Join us in the RAF Experience to learn more about our people, technology, and opportunities within the RAF.
