Indigenous youth program
18 March 2008
Air Force Cadet Emmanuel Ellis-Yolmen got a glimpse of his future as an AP-3C Orion Pilot during a visit to RAAF Base Edinburgh as part of a program for indigenous youth.
The inaugural “Seeking the Heights” program hosted by 11 Squadron Pilot, Flying Officer Adam Cox, has provided Air Force Cadet Emmanuel Ellis-Yolmen and fellow school-mates, Tyson Henley and Jarrod Simpson, with the unique opportunity to board an AP-3C Orion and F/A-18 Hornet.
The visit provided the indigenous students with a full experience of life in the RAAF with tours of Aviation Medicine, Aerospace Operational Support Group (AOSG), 92 Wing flight line and the 292 Squadron Advanced Flight Simulator.
Emmanuel, Tyson and Jarrod joined Student Matters, a Centacare program coordinated by Mr Ross Tanimu, which was formed to ‘close the gaps’ for indigenous youth.
Initiatives such as 11 Squadron's “Seeking the Heights” helps to make dreams come true for indigenous youth who may have never had the opportunity to experience life in the RAAF.
