Join 2344 Squadron - The sky's the limit!

Welcome to 2344 (Longbenton) Squadron. We are part of the Air Training Corps - a national youth organisation for young people aged 13 – 20 who enjoy adventure, aerospace and excitement.
We are one of the biggest squadrons in the north-east with a catalogue of achievements and successes. We have over 40 cadets who take part in a variety of activities including flying, gliding, adventurous training, sports, and leadership exercises.
We are supported by the Royal Air Force which means that our cadets enjoy piloting aircraft and gliders as well as visiting bases around the world!
Please take a look around our website to see what we have been up to and what opportunities are available to you. Alternatively, pop along to the squadron on any Tuesday or Friday evening..
