Description

Enter the thrilling world of vintage aviation with a 60 minute flight aboard a classically restored ex-military Piper Cub. This nimble craft’s roots date back to the 1930s and it is still used today as a popular flight training plane. After a comprehensive safety briefing and tuition on all essential flight controls, climb into the Piper Cub to get ready for the ride ahead. Once in the air, take over the craft’s controls and gently guide it through the sky with your professional instructor on hand to act as a co-pilot.
