Air Training Corps Association Of New Zealand
The New Zealand Air Training Corps (also known as Air Cadets and ATC) is one of the three corps in the New Zealand Cadet Forces, the other two being the New Zealand Sea Cadet Corps, Sea Cadet Corps and New Zealand Cadet Corps. It is funded in partnership between the Royal New Zealand Air Force, RNZAF and communities, and its members are civilians.
