Fly like a Fighter Pilot (Weekday Experience)

An incredible flying lesson where you’ll learn actual amazing techniques used by fighter pilots! Learn manoeuvres like the derry turn, aileron loop, Cuban 8, stall turn, and barrel roll from a genuine ex-military instructor and fly a T67 Firefly - the classic training plane used to train air force pilots since the 60’s. You’ll recall every classic war movie you’ve seen as you experience the exhilarating feeling of flying like a fighter pilot for yourself. On arrival you’ll be provided with a military flying suit, before a full safety briefing from your instructor, a former military trainer. You’ll then take to the cockpit and take off, mastering turning, ascents and descents. The instructor will demonstrate a range of exciting acrobatic manoeuvres, before handing the controls back to you so you can see what you’re made of! Your instructor will finally guide you to fly the plane back to base, and you’ll finish with a debrief and receive a certificate to commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
