What Flight Options are available?

Cessna 152Trial Lessons: A trial lesson allows the student to take the controls of the aeroplane and have a go at flying while under the watchful eye of one of our highly qualified Flying Instructors. The flight will be in the aircraft of your choice which could be the Cessna 152 shown. Trial flights can be for 30 minutes, 45 minutes , 1 hour or more.
 


Tiger Moth DH82AVintage Aircraft Flights: For those who like the open air, a flight in a vintage aircraft such as a Tiger Moth or Boeing Stearman or  the closed cockpit of a Harvard, will provide the ultimate thrill. Flights in these aircraft can include aerobatics. These flights can be for 20 minutes, 30 minutes 45 minutes or 1 hour.

How long a flight should I purchase?  For novices who are reasonably confident that they will enjoy the experience, we recommend booking for 45 or 60 minutes.
