Australian Air Force Cadets: Pilots' high point

PICTURE: SHAWN SMITS

SOUTH Australia's Abbie Shilling (pictured) was among the many young pilots who took to the skies on Friday as Bacchus Marsh hosted the gliding section of the Australian Air Force Cadets national flying competition.

The annual contest includes flying skills, advanced aircraft handling, circuit operations and landing and safety procedures.

Wing Commander Mark Dorward said it provided a chance for young pilots to show their skills.

"This is the pinnacle of the aviation training program in the Australian Air Force Cadets."
