  • Formation flying in high-performance aerobatic planes
  • High-adrenaline thrills as your instructor puts the plane through her aerobatic paces
  • Try some manoeuvres yourself, and tailchase the 'enemy' plane
  • Includes full safety briefing and expert instruction

Do you feel the need, the need for speed? If straightforward flying seems a bit tame, try this Top Gun style close-manoeuvre flight. Your experience begins with an intensive flight and safety briefing from your ex-military instructor, before you get kitted out in a Top Gun-style flight suit and a parachute. Then take to the air for a 40 minute flight with your instructor in an Extra 300, a high-performance lightweight aircraft which is one of the premier aerobatic planes in the world. And you'll soon find out why, as you experience an airborne tactic demonstration and formation manoeuvres, accompanied by another Extra 300. Then you take the stick - your chance to try out some manoeuvres yourself and then tailchase the other plane. Make like Maverick as you get behind your 'enemy' and transmit 'gun guns guns', to see smoke billow from the aircraft in front. Back on the ground, there'll be a full debrief and presentation of certificates. Guaranteed thrills and fun.

Location:

Cirencester, Gloucestershire

 

More information

Participant Guidelines: Minimum age is 16, min height 5' and max 6'4''. Maximum weight is 15st 7lbs. Over 55s must supply a doctor's letter confirming suitability. Please complete and return the medical questionnaire to the venue direct.
Weather: Flying is dependent on the weather and it is crucial that you call the venue for a weather check before setting out.
Duration: The experience lasts for three to four hours, including safety briefings, parachute drill and around 40 minutes' flying. Actual flying time is at your instructor's discretion. There is a little standing around as you are trained for your extreme flying.
Numbers On Day: You will have an aircraft and instructor to yourself for the experience.
Spectators: You're welcome to bring up to two spectators, who can join you during the briefings. We strongly recommend that you get someone to drive you home; this is a high-adrenaline experience and you may feel very tired.
Dress Code: Wear flat shoes with good grip - trainers are ideal. Women - please wear trousers not a skirt. An air combat helmet and flying suit will be provided.
Availability: Flights operate most Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from March to November. There are often air display commitments on summer weekends, so weekday availability is usually better.
Other Info: The airfield has cafe and bar facilities. You'll have the opportunity to do some aerobatic flying before landing if requested. Subject to availability, an in-flight DVD of your flight can be purchased on the day for £45.
