About

If straightforward flying seems a bit tame, try this airborne navigational adventure, strapped in to an ex-military Bulldog to complete a series of quick-fire missions with some breathtaking aerobatic manoeuvres along the way. Your experience begins with a flight and safety briefing from your ex-military instructor before you get kitted out in a flying suit. Then you'll take to the air in the Bulldog, sitting side by side with your instructor during a thrilling aerobatic flight demonstration. Next you'll take the controls of the plane yourself to complete a series of navigational tasks, finding a set of targets whilst maintaining your heading and speed. At each target you'll circle once to get the info you need to complete your mission. Depending on how well you do, your instructor might give you some additional tasks at short notice. Back on the ground, there'll be a full debrief and you'll get a copy of your map with headings, speeds and altitudes to take home.

Key Info

Availability: Flights operate every day except Friday and Sunday, with limited availability on Saturdays, between March and October. There are often air display commitments during summer weekends, so weekday availability is usually better.
Participant Guidelines: Minimum age 16. Max weight 17 stone. Maximum height is 6'5''. People over 55 must provide a doctor's letter confirming their suitability to participate. Please complete and return the medical questionnaire to Ultimate High.
Weather: Flying is dependent on the weather and it is crucial that you call the venue for a weather check before setting out.
Duration: Expect to spend between two and three hours on site, with around 40 minutes in the aeroplane and up to 30 minutes 'hands on stick' time each. Actual flying time is at your instructor's discretion.
Numbers On Day: Just you and the instructor will share the aircraft.
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.
Other Info: The airfield has cafe and bar facilities. Your mission route will vary depending on conditions on the day. An in-flight DVD of your flight can be purchased on the day for £45. You MUST take your booking confirmation letter with you.
