Royal Australian Air Force originally shared:


Air Force Girls Flight Camp - RAAF Base Amberley



Air Force Flight Camp is an initiative to increase capability through diversity and female recruitment. The camp, attended by seventeen girls aged 16 to 18 years, was held at RAAF Base Amberley from 10 – 14 June, and provided a hands-on, risk free opportunity for the girls to experience aviation roles (particularly pilot) within the Air Force. The girls had the opportunity to engage with current serving women and were exposed to Air Force life, fitness standards, leadership and adventure training.
