Welcome to RAF Linton on Ouse

Mission: To train tomorrow’s fast-jet aircrew

RAF Linton on Ouse is one of the busiest airfields in the country. Tasked with the training future fast jet pilots for the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy and Weapons Systems Officers for the Royal Air Force, the Station operates the Tucano T1.

Our mission is clear yet it disguises a range of functions that we perform. All our military personnel have the potential to deploy on operations – many have done so on more than one occasion. We place great emphasis on training and preparing them as individuals for these wider commitments. In addition we value the experience and facilities that we have and which we can use to the benefit of the community in which we exist. Our programme of events with schools and youth groups in North and West Yorkshire is without parallel in the Armed Forces. It gives us a chance to show the next generation of leaders that there is far more to the Royal Air Force than they might realise.

On these pages you will find a host of information about our Station, the people that work here and the role that we perform. We hope that you find it interesting and informative.
