Another great weekend gliding with @NIWingAirCadets. It's always a pleasure to have visitors from greater distances 🥳 661 VGS has a large cachement area of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and North Region. Seeing those happy faces is what makes it worthwhile 🎊 #whatwedo #gliding

Some of our guests travel long distances, including this great bunch from 1990 (Ellon) Squadron. We can tell they enjoyed their glider induction flights, as did we! ✈️ A special thanks to the volunteers who give up their time to escort them #whatwedo #gliding #volunteers

3/3 The hat-trick occurred on Sunday with the award of Grade 2 to FSC Nichols. Josh can now captain the Viking without a solo check and is a step closer to his Grade 1

1/3 What a weekend for 661VGS! First congratulations to FSC Tuach for achieving her first solo in the Viking. Katelyn has become the first cadet to fly solo at Kirknewton in 2022. GS applications are still open so you too can follow in Katelyns steps

Today Cadet Copeland from @1138SqnATC earned her Blue wings having received the 200th Aviation Training Package delivered at RAF Kirknewton this year. This is a great achievement as the squadron only returned to flying at the end of June following a pause due to COVID-19

On Sunday Sqn Ldr Lewis sent Mark, one of our staff, cadets for his first solo. This is the first silver wings solo at Kirknewton since the pandemic and the 100th cadet to have been sent solo by Sqn Ldr Lewis. Congratulations to both. @aircadets @fts_2

A huge well done to Kirsten from all the team at 661VGS, for flying her first cadet today. Kirsten has been a dedicated member of the team at 661 for about a decade. Due to “the pause” and the pandemic, it’s been a long road to G1 but congratulations kirsten. @aircadets
