About

Nerves of steel and a stomach of solid rock? Then our ultimate aerobatic flying experience is for you. The experience starts with your feet firmly on the ground and a comprehensive briefing from your expert pilot. You'll chat through any specific requirements so your flight can be tailored to what you want (and how brave you're feeling). Then you'll climb aboard a Pitts Special high-performance aerobatic plane. Hold on tight while your pilot puts the plane through its paces with a breathtaking and stomach-churning full aerobatics sequence (we mean it - for goodness sake don't eat a big meal beforehand!). Then if you want to have a go (and we're pretty sure that you will) your instructor will hand over the controls and you can experience the thrill of flying a plane yourself. Back on terra firma, collect your aerobatics certificate, and make the most of your photo opportunities.
