Aerobatic Stunt Flying
Start off on the ground with 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 climb aboard your plane, either a British Slingsby Firefly, Chipmunk or modern light aircraft such as a Cessna. Once airborne, your expert instructor will show you what it can do - so hang on tight for an aerobatic sequence including a roll, loop or stall turn. Then if you want to have a go (and we’re pretty sure that you will) your instructor will hand over the controls and you can experience the thrill of flying a plane.
