Vintage Flying

Classic Vintage Flying - In this fantastic flying experience you will don your ‘biggles’ helmet and goggles and climb aboard the vintage aircraft for a nostalgic vintage flight.

You will start with your pre-flight familiarisation and safety briefings. Then you will take to flying in your classic vintage aircraft, with fantastic views as the wind rushes over your face. Flying with an experienced vintage aircraft pilot instructor you will have the opportunity to take the controls and try your hand at being a student pilot.
