Bill was so reasuring and gave me bags of confidence. This was on my list of things to do as i am frightened of heights. I thought it was great and would do it again. Every aspect of my flight was very professional yet relaxed and fun you must try it.

Everything went very smoothly with the instructor being so relaxed and the day was made even better by the lovely sunny weather with clear skies and wonderful views of the local area.
Exillerating!

Wasn't sure I was going to get up, as I am a bit on the large side! They were going to weigh me, but couldn't find their scales. The rate of climb was amazing, comparing well to that of a winch-launched glider. It was a rather blustery day, but Ian the Instructor still allowed me to have a go at controlling the aircraft. Its definitely something I would like to try again, although I'm not sure I would ever be good enough to go solo - like I have with rigid gliders.

Having experienced many forms of flying; gliding, balloning as well as conventional planes this Microlight experince was in a league of it's own! The feeling of being at 1,800ft with only a piece a fabric above your head and a small piece of fibreglass under you was absolutely mind-blowing. Although I felt a real sense of vunerability at the start of the flight.This soon past as the stunning 360 degree vista unfolded before me as we climbed higher & higher. Ian, my instructor pilot, was outstanding and answered all of the questions I was asking him during the flight. His skill as a pilot was obvious but this was matched by his ability to communicate in a reassuring informative manner. Flying very close to the QE2 bridge over the Thames estuary at Dartford was truly the highlight of the flight followed very closely by the Touch & Go manouvre he undertook towards the end of the flight - a real adrenaline rush! What ever you do DON'T MISS THIS EXPERIENCE
A Lot Of Fun

There was a lot of waiting and I had to ask the pilot of I could hold the controls. But the experience was amazing.
Flight Over Lincolnshire

An unforgetable trip over Lincolnshire where we climbed to a hight that let us see the whole of Lincolnshire from the Wash to the Humber and Nottinghamshire to the sea. No sooner had we taken of than the very experienced instructor let me take the controls which I only handed back just before landing. This was an adrenaline fuelled trip to remember and one which I will most certainly take again.

Warm sunshine, a friendly welcome from Learn to Fly staff at the tiny airfield in Upminster, and the relaxed atmosphere all helped to make my Microlight flight really memorable and exciting. The take off and landing were really exciting - felt like a big bird zooming up into the blue and the viz was superb! I could talk to Ian via an in-helmet mask and we soared to at least 1,000 feet or more, so had a wonderful bird's eye view of the countryside - a living map below. The thermals were strong and we dipped and dived quite a lot, but I loved it! (Was a sucker for the Big Dipper as a kid!) I could see the white curve of the Dome in the distance in the curve of the Thames, and was very sorry when it was time to turn back to the airfield. The ground loomed up fast, but Ian made a skilful landing and I was back on terra firma, happy and wanting to have another flight soon! My grandchildren who were watching were pretty envious .... Thank you, Red Letter Days, for a great experience.

A truly memorable day right from when I arrived at the airfield. The crew were very welcoming and attentive to my party and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The pilot was informative and forthcoming on the procedures before and during the flight. Even though the flight was quite bumpy due to wind I felt I had complete confidence in his ability. Following the flight, I ordered a DVD and certificate, unfortunately there had been a problem with the camera so only part of the flight was filmed. Because of this,Learn to Fly made a short version as best they could and forwarded to me but also refunded my money which I thought was a really nice gesture. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who wanted a different type of air experience. Thank you Red Letter Day for sourcing such a superb company.

It was a bit gusty but I felt totally safe in the hands of the very experienced pilot. A great day for anyone who likes to feel the wind in their face and enjoy the view from 1000ft up!
Wow, Wow, Wow!

Clearly nervous and wondering why, oh why, I had booked myself (yes, booked it myself!) such a terrifying experience, upon arrival at the airfield I could not have been more welcomed or reassured. My microlight flight was truly exhilerating, awesome and Ian, my pilot, was inspiring, calm, professional and good fun. I cannot recommend this experience enough and urge anyone looking for the most amazing time to treat themselves immediately!
Brilliant Experience

I was a little nervous about the microlight flight but it was superb. Instructor put me at ease and I had the controls the majority of the flight. Gives you a real buzz - fantastic.

The microlight flight was amazing. My instructor took me up amongst the clouds. It was breathtaking. The way down was like being on a really long rollercoaster, ducking in and out of the cloud pockets!
