Description

Essential for any high flyer, this 30 minute light aircraft flight in Northumberland is the very best way to experience the thrills and spills of aviation. Kick off with a talk on safety before jumping into the cockpit of a Cessna 152 with a professional flying instructor to prepare for take-off. Then the fun really starts – head to the skies and once at altitude, take in stunning panoramic views of local landscape while your trusty pilot effortlessly glides the Cessna through the clouds. During the flight, take over the controls to get a real taste of what it’s like to pilot a light aircraft.
