Vintage Flying Experience - Experience Gifts Description

Give your fantasies free rein as you go back in time and experience the thrill of open cockpit flying in a classic biplane! During your visit, a briefing will be followed by your dramatic flight. Depending on the location, you can take the controls in a trial lesson under the guidance of an expert instructor, or you can take a pleasure flight as your pilot puts the plane through its paces.

• Briefing from a CAA licensed instructor
• Depending on the location, the flight is either a trial lesson where you have the opportunity to take the controls, or a pleasure flight
• The length of flight, type of aircraft and type of flight depend on location
• Allow 1 hour for your visit which will include a flight of 15-25 minutes.
• Experience gift box including smart wallet, personalised voucher, message card and single use camera
• PA cover to a value of £50,000 plus cancellation indemnity

What happens on the day:
When you arrive, you will be issued with any necessary protective clothing (sometimes this is a leather helmet and goggles). You will then be briefed by your instructor before the flight. If you are taking a Trial Lesson you will have the opportunity to take the controls and fly the plane. If you are taking a Pleasure Flight, you will be ‘chauffeured’ as a passenger in the aircraft as the professional pilot puts the plane through its paces.
