Nerves of steel and a stomach of solid rock? Then vintage aerobatic flying is for you. The experience starts with your feet firmly on the ground during a comprehensive briefing. You'll chat through any specific requirements with your instructor so that the flight can be tailored to what you want (and how brave you're feeling). Then don a Biggles-style flying jacket before climbing into the cockpit of a vintage 1930s Stampe SV4 aircraft. The Stampe is a classic Belgian version of the English Tiger Moth and the model you'll fly in has been lovingly restored. Feel the rush of the wind from the open cockpit as your pilot puts the plane through a breathtaking full aerobatic sequences (subject to weather conditions and at the pilot's discretion). You'll also have the opportunity to take the controls yourself and discover the sensation that has made generations of flyers fall in love with these great little planes. Back on terra firma, receive a flight certificate to take home.

Location:

Gloucester, Gloucestershire
