About the experience
Are you interested in experiencing the thrill of piloting an aircraft and enjoying panoramic views of the Dorset countryside? If so, then you should definitely consider taking a flight in a four-seater aircraft over Shaftesbury from Compton Abbas. Compton Abbas Airfield is a popular destination for aviation enthusiasts, as it boasts a large collection of vintage and war aircraft that regularly take to the skies. Moreover, the airfield offers pilot training programs for modern aircraft. The instructors are highly experienced, with backgrounds in both military and commercial aviation. They have flown countless hours in various types of aircraft and continue to do so. Your lesson will be in a reliable four-seater light aircraft that is an excellent trainer and a pleasure to fly. Many pilots have earned their wings in this wonderful aeroplane. The airfield has a single 803m long grass runway that sits proudly at 800ft above sea level, with Cranborne Chase providing a stunning backdrop. You can enjoy the panoramic views of the rolling hills of Dorset from the restaurant terrace, but imagine the view you'll have from the cockpit of your plane - it's a privilege to experience it! What makes this airfield truly special is its location. You'll have the opportunity to fly over some of Dorset's most beautiful landmarks, including Studland Bay, Old Harry's Rocks, and Longleat. But this isn't just a sightseeing trip - it's a flying lesson, and you'll have the chance to pilot the Piper yourself!
