I have aged out from Air Cadet a few years ago.
My best time in cadet was being in the Colour/Flag Party. I went from holding the Canadian flag to 2IC to commander; the experience made me proud of being in cadet and being a Canadian, which probably acted as a catalyst in my joining the Reserve.
Some other nice memories include volunteering with the US CAP cadets at the Arlington airshow and building/sleeping in snow cave during a winter ex.

What are some of the best times I've ever had in Cadets? Drill and Navigation. Drill is what fuels me, Drill is in my blood, it IS my blood.

1) Running a .303 rifle range on my own, on a regular basis, at the age of 16
2) Watching Polar Bears tracking our patrol on Cornwallis Island through the rifle scope of our Ranger guide
3) Section Bren gunner during platoon attacks at Stanford Plain Training Area
4) Raiding the local air and sea cadet corps buildings, stealing their stair cases, and hiding them in the woods
5) Sailing across Bennet Lake in the Yukon, and digging the world's largest pit toilet in the same area
6) Flying from Vancouver to Edmonton in a C47 Dakota and watching the condensation stream in as we passed over the Rockies
7) Brutal floor hockey games
8) Getting paid to do most of the above when my peers were dicking around working at the local Dairy Queen, or something equally cheesy ;D

Expo 67- I was CO of a regiment of cadets from Atlantic Provinces that went to Expo 67 in Montreal.
The Regimental Band was from Nfld. and we stayed at Farnam, Quebec.
We were given unlimited access to all the sites within Expo 67. That was my last year and best year with cadets. Reserves and Regs, would follow.
