20.01.2022 On the 11th of January 2020, 6 Wing (SA & Mildura) held our Ceremonial Review for the 2020 Cadet Promotion Courses. Over 100 Cadets from SA & TAS who are aged between 13-18 participated in courses in order to take on greater leadership responsibility. Each cadet worked hard in the previous 16 Days at RAAF Base Edinburgh learning Drill, Fieldcraft, Service Knowledge, Planning, leadership and Instructional Technique.... Cadets lived on base and learned time management, working as a team, maintaining their uniforms, rooms and communal spaces. The parade is a culmination of skills, coordination and teamwork.

12.01.2022 Australian Air Force Cadets learn basic map reading, navigation and camouflage skills, progressing to skills such as creating a bush shelter from the natural environment, collecting water and trapping food. As they progress in the AAFC, cadets take part in an increasingly challenging program of fieldcraft and survival activities, with Squadrons offering several bush camps every year. Fieldcraft and survival camps give cadets a chance to lead their peers in challenging circumstances. It’s out in the bush where you really make friends for life!

11.01.2022 This clip from the "Lost Mildura " archives shows the 23 Flight Air Training Corp (now 623 Squadron Australian Air Force Cadets) marching in the ANZAC Day Parade Circa 1960. It shows some of the Rats of Tobruk Sunraysia Sub Branch; Gary McPherson as the March leader with baton twirling and in full regalia as they march along Deakin Ave. Maybe you can see family or friends in this.

06.01.2022 It has come to my attention that many people have been trying to contact the squadron via our landline number listed. Currently, the Squadron does not have a phone number either mobile or landline. A decision was made at a national level that these were no longer required. While we work on getting this sorted out please please contact us via [email protected] or via messenger.... CO 623SQN
