30 Minute Tiger Moth Biplane Flight

30 Minute Tiger Moth Biplane Flight


Chocks away old boy! Toodle-pip! Aviation was once about freedom and adventure (as well as fantastic sheepskin jackets and great goggles). And with this experience you'll recreate the pure pleasure of vintage flight. After a short pre-flight briefing, don a Biggles-style flying jacket before climbing into the cockpit of a vintage De Havilland Tiger Moth or 1930s Stampe SV4. The Tiger Moth is the quintessential English biplane, with the Stampe being the Belgian equivalent and all models have been lovingly restored. Feel the rush of the wind from the open cockpit and enjoy sectacular views as your pilot puts the plane through a series of exciting manoeuvres (subject to weather conditions and at the pilot's discretion). You'll also have the opportunity to take the controls yourself and discover the sensation that has made generations of flyers fall in love with these lively little planes. Back on terra firma, some venues even include a flight certificate for you to take home.

Air Race Tuesday

Air Race Tuesday


Even with little or no flying experience, you can take to the skies and join in this ultimate air race. Kick off with a thorough briefing and a practise flight, where you learn to fly the cutting edge Extra 300 race plane (as used in the Red Bull Air Race event) including tight corners. Enjoy a snack lunch with your pilot and talk tactics as you prepare for the big race. Start by diving down to low levels at speeds in excess of 200mph, select 'smoke on' and storm across the start. Then pass through a series of simulated gates at high speed either with wings exactly level, or at 90 degrees - in 'knife-edge' flight! No matter what your previous experience, YOU will fly the aeroplane, with an experienced aerobatic and ex-military instructor with you to make sure that it is safe. Once all the competitors have taken their individual turns, it's fingernail biting time as you await the results. Have you been the fastest of the day? A results certificate signed by your pilot is yours to keep.

Taking off from the Imperial War Museum Duxford, you'll fly north to Cambridge, enjoying magnificent views from 1,500 feet.

If straightforward flying seems a bit tame, try this airborne navigational adventure, strapped in to an ex-military Bulldog to complete a series of quick-fire missions with some breathtaking aerobatic manoeuvres along the way.

At each target you'll circle once to get the info you need to complete your mission. Depending on how well you do, your instructor might give you some additional tasks at short notice.

Exclusive Hot Air Balloon Flight for Two

Exclusive Hot Air Balloon Flight for Two


Have you ever looked up to see a hot air balloon drifting silently overhead? With this experience it'll be you in the basket of the balloon, looking down. First you'll meet your pilot and get a flight safety briefing, before helping to prepare and inflate the balloon. Then you'll climb into the basket - just you two and your pilot - ready for launching. You'll fly at heights of up to 5,000 feet, enjoying 360 degree beautiful views as the countryside awakes, and the restful peace and quiet (except for when the propane burners are going, that is). Because the balloon moves with the wind, you'll feel no wind at all, just sheer enjoyment. After landing you can help the crew pack the balloon away, before a celebratory glass of champagne (or a soft drink). Then you'll be driven back to the launch site. You'll be presented with a commemorative flight certificate, and some centres also offer the chance to purchase an in-flight photo.

Introduction To Gliding

Introduction To Gliding


Gliding is perhaps the most elegant way that humans can get airborne. It's a breathtaking way to fly, soaring on the same rising currents of air that the birds use, with no roaring engine to spoil the peace. This experience is a perfect introduction to gliding, giving you the chance to really get to grips with it. You'll start with a briefing session before climbing aboard your dual-controlled glider with your expert instructor. Then the glider is towed into the air by a light aircraft (okay, this bit is noisy, but you have to get airborne somehow). Once you're at the right height the rope is released, the aircraft peels away and you're free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents. You'll enjoy breathtaking views of the countryside below you and the sky around you. You'll be able to take the controls and pilot the glider yourself. The course includes three aerotow flights, on-ground tuition and one month membership. It might just be the start of a love affair with gliding!

First off (with feet still firmly on the ground!), you'll meet your pilot and get a flight safety briefing, before helping to prepare and inflate the balloon then climb into the basket, ready for launching. Flying at heights of up to 5,000 feet, you'll gaze down at the beautiful views of the countryside below and enjoy the restful peace and quiet (except for when the propane burners are going that is). Because the balloon moves with the wind, you'll feel no wind at all, just sheer enjoyment. After landing you can help the crew pack the balloon away, before enjoying a celebratory glass of champagne (or soft drink) and being driven back to the launch site (who knows where you'll land? - you can't steer balloons!). You'll also be presented with a commemorative flight certificate to take home.

Top Gun Aerobatic Stunt Flying

Top Gun Aerobatic Stunt Flying


Do you feel the need, the need for speed? If straightforward flying seems a bit tame, try this Top Gun style close-manoeuvre flight. Your experience begins with an intensive flight and safety briefing from your ex-military instructor, before you get kitted out in a Top Gun-style flight suit and a parachute. Then take to the air for a 40 minute flight with your instructor in an Extra 300, a high-performance lightweight aircraft which is one of the premier aerobatic planes in the world. And you'll soon find out why, as you experience an airborne tactic demonstration and formation manoeuvres, accompanied by another Extra 300. Then you take the stick - your chance to try out some manoeuvres yourself and then tailchase the other plane. Make like Maverick as you get behind your 'enemy' and transmit 'gun guns guns', to see smoke billow from the aircraft in front. Back on the ground, there'll be a full debrief and presentation of certificates. Guaranteed thrills and fun.
