  • Two of you thousands of feet up with your pilot and instructor
  • Take turns sitting front and back in a four seater light aircraft
  • Take time out for tea halfway through your flight
  • Make the most of spectacular views below and your chance to pilot a small plane

If we were meant to fly, we'd have wings. We've got the Wright brothers to thank for the alternative - light aircraft. With this experience you'll both get to fly a plane yourself - fantastic fun whether you're trying it as a one-off, or taking your first steps towards a Private Pilot's Licence. Your experience starts with your feet firmly on the ground, with a briefing about flying techniques and safety. Climb aboard your dual-controlled four-seater training plane with a fully-qualified instructor, before chocks away for your flight, during which time (at the pilot's discretion) one of you will take the flight controls to experience the absolute joy of flying a plane. Then drop down for tea at a neighbouring airfield before turning round and swapping controls so the other budding pilot can take their turn and help to fly you all back to base. The feeling of control is brilliant, not to mention the breathtaking views... you'll never look at planet Earth in quite the same way again.

Location:

Warwick, Warwickshire
