It’s been an amazing day RAF Cosford Air Show (Official). Thousands of cadets filled Royal Air Force Cosford, helping run our immersive tech and recruitment stands, performing with the band or drill display team, or just enjoying an amazing flying display and all the other things to see and do. The thing every cadet was most excited to see? The RAF Red Arrows of course. Thanks to all Royal Air Force who made the day possible. #Cosford22 #cosford #cosfordairshow #airshow #aircadets #noordinaryhob
