Sitting alongside an experienced, fully qualified instructor, he'll be introduced to the core principles of aviation — from managing the aircraft's controls to understanding how to keep a steady altitude.

The real highlight comes when he gets the chance to take the helm himself, giving him an exhilarating, hands-on taste of what it's like to fly.

With airfields located across the UK, it's easy to find a convenient location, making this gift both exciting and surprisingly accessible.
