Description

This extended flight in a fixed wing microlight is the perfect experience for those who love having their head in the clouds. Microlighting is a real thrill and an amazing way to see the beautiful sights of the surrounding Hull area. Upon arrival, receive a pre-flight briefing on safety, then put on a flying suit and get familiarised with the controls. Once in the air, take in the breathtaking views of the east coast and see things from a different perspective. During this 60 minute flight, you might even get to take control of the craft and get some flying experience.
