30 Minute Light Aircraft Flight
If we were meant to fly, we’d have wings. We’ve got the Wright brothers to thank for the alternative - light aircraft. Your experience starts with your feet firmly on the ground, with a briefing about flying techniques and safety. Then climb aboard your dual-controlled two-seater Cessna 152 training plane with a fully-qualified instructor. Then it’s chocks away for your 30 minute flight, during which time (at the pilot’s discretion) you can take the flight controls and experience the absolute joy of flying a plane. The feeling of control is brilliant, not to mention the breathtaking views.
