The Event
Action-packed from start to finish
Air Day will be action-packed from start to finish. As fast jets and military aircraft zoom across the skies, budding aviators and those who once dreamt of flying can experience at first-hand life inside one of Europe’s largest helicopter bases.
Ever dreamt of becoming a pilot? Want to find out what it’s like to sit at the controls of a 15 tonne helicopter, surrounded by the latest technology, making vital tactical decisions?
On Air Day, you will be able to meet aircrew who have served on Front Line Squadrons all over the world, pilots who have just earned their ‘Wings’, and members of the Search and Rescue Squadron who are seen flying all over Cornwall on daring rescue missions, often putting their own lives at risk to save others.
Why not climb onboard state-of-the-art aircraft, take a ride in a helicopter or be winched high into the air.
