Your instructor will take off and demonstrate some basic manoeuvres and then it’s your turn,and you can experience the exhilaration of flying for yourself.
There will never be anything to compare with your first flight as you soar skywards to view the East Anglian Countryside from 2000 feet. No computer game or simulator comes close to the experience of taking control and the sensation of piloting the aircraft whilst looking down on the earth is a memory that will stay with you forever. Not a game - the real thing!
We will try to take you over places of personal interest where possible. Depending on the duration chosen, you will fly over local landmarks and sites, some of the most popular being Newmarket Town and Racecourse, Ely Cathedral and Grafham Water. On return to Cambridge you will see such historic sites as Kings College and the River Cam.
