One of the pillars of the Guernsey Air Display is to educate and inspire young people around the history and future of the air display, the engineering challenges the aviation industry faces and military and civilian career opportunities.

 

Over the years students have received talks from air traffic control, pilots and engineers in addition to school, CCF and uniformed your organisation visits from the RAF Careers Engagement Team.

The public also get the opportunity to get up close with the planes in the display at the annual Meet the Pilots event, sponsored by Titan.
