  • About

    Originally developed to study aircraft, the powerful wind tunnel allows participants to experience the true sensation of freefall without the need to plummet from the skies. Kick off with a briefing from a qualified instructor, before being issued with a specialist flight suit, stepping into the wind tunnel and taking to the air for two exhilarating 60 second body flying sessions (in comparison, a skydive from 10,000 feet provides 30 seconds of freefall). Conclude with a debrief, and presentation of a DVD of the flight to take away as a memento. Some lucky flyers will even get to enjoy an aerobatic display from their instructor.

    • Experience two incredible 60 second sessions of free flight
    • Take to the air and try out some special moves
    • A true sensation of freefall - and no need to jump out of a plane
    • Take home a DVD of the flight to share with friends and family

    I have 3 kids who had an outstanding day, Alan their instructor was so fun and reassuring. The youngest (8) volunteered to go first in the group and set the benchmark for fearlessness (meerkats watch out!) They asked when they return to Airkix that Alan be their instructor again. So watch this space, there may be 3 new aircrew in years to come!!

    I was a little dubious before hand as I wondered if I would find it a buzz? However once I had my first flight it was great, loved it. The course and instructions before your flight are easy to understand and the instructor was there to help otherwise. A great way to learn the basics of skydiving. Everyone in our group had a happy smile!

    Unforgetable Experience!!!

    I would most certainly recommend this experience. A good quality service provided: from initial on-line confirmation booking to inflight check-in at AirKix to Instructor briefing to the actual 'flight'. The text from Red Letter Days before the day's event was a lovely thoughtful touch! I had a truly memorable day - and I have the best Brother ever for purchasing it for me! I will certainly be passing the gift of this unique experience on to someone else this year!

    Brilliant Fun And Experience!

    I booked this experience as Tom's 13th birthday present. An inspired idea as he totally loved it, can't wait to go again and has put this on his christmas list! Staff at the venue were really lovely and welcoming and the instructor, Dan, was excellent, giving clear instructions and showing patience with the various people flying that day.

    Brilliant Gift

    We purchased the skydiving experience together with our son as a birthday gift for our 9yr old grandson's birthday present. They both experienced the indoor skydiving last week and had an incredible time. The briefing and instructing was very well carried out and they absolutely loved it and would like to go again. My husband and I watched the whole thing as spectators and really enjoyed watching. It looks like there could be some more Red Letter Days in future as they make excellent gift ideas. The service we received was very good and everyone was friendly

    Joel at Airkix in Milton Keynes was brilliant with our 7 year old daughter and helped her have the confidence to relax in the wind tunnel. We will never forget her face and she can't wait to go again. We'll definitely be going back and requesting Joel the instructor again.

    Fantastic Experience

    Bought this for my girlfriend and she had a great time. The instructor was excellent. Red Letter Day's service was exceptional and their online booking system is superb.

    What a fantasic experience!! - booked it for my husbands 40th birthday, if I honest I was really nervous and wasn't that keen... But I loved it!! The instructors are fantasic, really put you at ease and are so professional. I went first, thought I'd get it over and done it!! - I felt so safe and so comfortable (which I thought I never would, as I was so nervous!). I didn't want to get out! I will def go back, and book a different experience- maybe try and learn a few moves! My advice to anyone thinking about it and is abit unsure is give it a go, i'm still buzzing from it and it was a week ago!!. Best thing by far that I have ever done. Thank you!

    Really well organised and welcoming from the moment you arrive. Instructors make you feel at ease and each minute you are in the tunnel is amazing and goes so quickly. An experience well worth having - only wish it was a bit nearer because I think I would be going there every week! Thanks for a lovely morning, really enjoyed it!:0)

    A Fun Day Out
