I did my PPL with cadets this summer, much like these cadets did. I can’t put into words how much it meant to me.
Excellent video. You brought me back to this past summer. Thanks for making me cry.
No way! I did my PPL with cadets this past summer too! Where did you do yours?
You know what goes through my mind is at seventeen I was unemployed in Belfast in the middle of the troubles and not knowing what my future would bring yet these students are training to fly a plane solo totally mind blowing well done to all , always remember we as people can do anything if we really want to 🙏
Great documentary. Really opened my eyes to what it's like training PPL for 7weeks and gave me the courage of not becoming scared about achieving my goals.u can achieve ur goals if u have the correct mindset and the amount of hard work that's needed.if they did u can too!
I remember my first solo.
The silence is so loud and I know that sounds stupid but it makes you want to talk, you say aloud all your steps.
Got my private license through this course this summer 2022. By far the greatest experience of my life, absolutely rewarding!
I was lucky enough to do this course in 2022 out of Regina, SK. I have never been through such a scary, rewarding, and emotional time in my entire life. The bond with the people that you do this course with is so cool because you come from all across Canada trying to accomplish the same goal. The stories and experiences that you experience at such a young age is wild.
My Favourite channel. Watching from Zimbabwe Gokwe Nembudziya ♥️🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼👍💛💛💛
I congratulate these young adults on a job well done!!!!
Cool documentary i liked it ! ! Thnx for sharing !
so proud of them
dang i almost cried, that is one intense course to do at that age
Bravo
Watching from kenya🇰🇪
Wonderful film! I would love to see a follow-up film to show the path that these young people took.
The military base in the beginning of the video is Denison armouries. I know because I was there for summer training in FTU's and saw these same people with a coach bus. My squad was summer training Cap 2 and that was the day we left the base to go to grimsby for overnight camp
it couldn't have been, this is from the 2015 scholarship
Hard work pays off, what a pilot what a human what a disciplined life, insane
Watching from Canada 🇨🇦
Excellent! Had I had the money back when,it was my dream to be a pilot bigg time
it is never to late
@@colonelbeaux1570 I’m 88. You’ve inspired me to become a pilotttttfffgghdxxdzsfgczzz zzz zzzzzzzz zzz zzz 😴 💤
Cadets are all free... Air cadets can learn to fly gliders or small planes, Army Cadets can get their jump wings, and Sea cadets can get ship ratings.
This is Canada best cadets ...really!
Thank you for your services!
Hehe these aren't enlisted cadets... its like scouts but with the wings badge
Everything is great but if you look at the notes on the service records of a lot of these first has the same result of one of the first women to land on aircraft carriers
Cool & awesome 🌈🌻🦋🌈✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✨👍
Go Air Force.
good for them , but Top Guns in the U.S.A is a whole lot different
U 👏 S 👏 A ✊
you just ain't a woofin'
@Bubble0seven who cares what you think eh
Except usa is a joke... this video title is click bait.. nothing top gun about some PPL cadets
@@jakes_on_a_plane yawn you are boring
Fun doc... I remember hearing about a cadet kid who dropped the F-bomb on the radio while working on PPL.. can't swear on radio.. he got sent home
So, you think 7 weeks of training makes you a "Top gun"???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
17 is way too young to handle that kind of stress and i would put the US Navy Top Guns up against the Canadian any day and they wouldn't stand a chance
except it's not, clearly since this program has been running for decades , and it's not literally top gun, these are civilian cadets
Watching from the 519 🇨🇦
Me to Kitchener/Waterloo
A remake of the NFB's Horizons Unlimited (1978) !
Hello Everyone, actually I'm an international student, and I am currently studying in Canada and I want to join RCAF in the future. Can someone tell me how to apply and what's the overall procedure. If so, it'll be a great help.
This is about AIR CADETS. It's for kids and young adults, from 13 to 19. NOT the air force. That is different. I think that all you need for the regular forces (apart from the basic qualifications) is a Permanent Residence. They DO hire foreign pilots with experience straight off though.
@TheJimprez that's good I was in IAF and have flown several Russian jets such as Migs & Su-30MKI
its funny cuz i hung out with this squadron and they didnt tell me they were in a documentary...
Like 23 nice video 📹 🤗 🙏 🙏
This is an Aviation documentary
am i the only 1 who thinks the picture they chose to for the video thumb seems wrong? a girl who looks like she is sitting on the pilots lap in a jet
Yeah that was 100% clickbait
Great an' all, but how long does it take to make a 10 year fighter pilot?
TEN YEARS!!
Exactly
And how many does Canada have left?
Exactly
🇨🇦🫡
WHAT KINDA THUMBNAIL PIC YPU THINK U NEED FIR A VIDEO?????????? I’m not even going to watch this because of the thumbnail!!!!!
Definitely not top guns.. its a clickbait title too
Canada needs the Dassault Rafale or the F-35..
We ARE getting the F-35
and this is exactly how you end up with badly trained, incompetent pilots, leading to inevitable incidents and serious accidents. Licensing someone as a pilot with only 7 short weeks of 'training' is irresponsible, absurdly dangerous and darwin award level stupid
yeah, it's not one of the most intense 7 weeks of someone's life, it's not like they still have to take and pass the TC exam, they're just giving away PPL's
@@thelastdunkonian2846 Been there and @JS-wp4gs is absolutely right it is at least somewhat irresponsible to rush that process and to only give the minimum 45 hours regardless of performance but what can you do.
Those kids have had YEARS of theoretical courses in their units, and lots of familiarization flights, and some of them are already glider pilots. Only the very best get offered the scholarships. I went to a college where they give a 3 year pro pilot course. MOST of the students were Air Cadets. They all had their PRIVATE pilot license...
PS: When you don't have a clue about what you are saying, you should NOT write stupid rants like yours.
I graduated from this course in 2022... cadet pilots have to meet the same standards, hour requirements, and complete the same testing as every other private pilot in Canada.
Going to be honest here folks, this is closer to the truth than most realize. Most flight training units in my area don't take cadets as students, because they receive their PPLs at a much lower standard than what regular TC examiners expect. Therefore, schools don't want to take the risk of a PPL renting their plane to solo and killing themselves and their passengers (it has happened too many times).
As great as these cadet programs are, 7 weeks is far too short a time to learn to operate an aircraft safely. Experienced pilots routinely make mistakes that kill them even with hundreds of hours. Putting children in these planes in a crash course is irresponsible, especially when it looks like the class is selected for "diversity" rather than merit.
But alas, every person makes his/her decision in life. I leave this post as a warning to parents. Flying is deadly serious, and the cadets program is not an ideal place to learn unless your child is extremely gifted.
Lol Canada's Air force is a joke...
I would not blame it on Canada's air force completely the students are not good or focused enough
it's not the air force, it's cadets, a youth group subsidized by the Canadian armed forces, like JROTC
@@thelastdunkonian2846 In other words literally the air force
@@JS-wp4gs bruh what? none of us are members of the CAF, it's basically just a different version of scouts, all cadets are minors from 12-19, we have reserve officers to come in and train us once a week
LOL, a dumb little hater... Good luck making friends in life dufus.... Canada makes do with less, that is why we are so good when we get the very best kit. BTW joker, we just ordered almost 100 F-35s, and we also won the US TOP GUN trophy, so get lost.
Dear precious one, please repeat after me with your whole heart, "Father God, I'm a sinner and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe in the Good News that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that You resurrected Him from the dead in order to restore my relationship with You. Through my belief and faith in Jesus death, burial and resurrection, I am saved.
I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. Please guide my life and help me do Your will, Your way through the Holy Spirit. This I pray in the powerful, loving and glorious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Amen!" 🙏
Dear friend, may Father God our Creator, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and The Holy Spirit bless you, lead you, guide you and keep you in His abundantly loving care now and for all eternity! Amen!! ❤️🙏❤️
