Enjoy the fun sensation of flying like a bird, taking off, turning and climbing to cruise height. After a briefing with your instructor, you will take off and climb to over 1,000 feet. Once you're comfortable, the instructor will hand you the controls before you descend to land. This back-to-basics experience will make you feel like you've travelled back in time to the pioneer days of flying. Your flight will be in an open or closed cockpit microlight.
