Description

A flex wing microlight flight is an ideal way of experiencing the sensation of open cockpit flying. Wondered what it might be like? Then this is the way to find out, a 30 minute once-in-a-lifetime flight over the Highlands of Scotland! Begin with a pre-flight safety briefing from a qualified instructor, covering all the necessary skills needed to pilot a flex wing microlight. Then, once ready, take to the skies and soar like an eagle above the breathtaking Scottish landscape, soaking in dramatic views of the rolling countryside. Whether navigating through the clouds, under the wing of a professional instructor or simply relaxing and taking in the views, this is the perfect experience for budding pilots and the more experienced alike!
