No. 6 Air Experience Flight (6 AEF) is an Air Experience Flight based at RAF Benson.
It is one of twelve Air Experience Flights run by the Air Cadet Organisation of the Royal Air Force.
It was formed in the 1950s, along with the other AEFs, with the aim of teaching basic flying to members of the Air Training Corps, Combined Cadet Force (RAF Section) and occasionally, the Girls Venture Corps Air Cadets and the Air Scouts. It has been based at RAF Benson since 1992. It is used primarily to deliver Air Experience Flights to cadets and is parented by the Oxford University Air Squadron.
