About the experience
If you're looking for an exhilarating experience, why not try piloting a four-seater aircraft over Shaftesbury from Compton Abbas? The airfield is a popular destination for aviation enthusiasts, with a variety of vintage and war aircraft on display, as well as pilot training programs for modern aircraft. The instructors are highly experienced with backgrounds in both military and commercial aviation. You'll be flying in a reliable four-seater light aircraft, which is an excellent trainer and a pleasure to fly. The airfield has a single 803m long grass runway that sits 800ft above sea level, providing stunning views of the Dorset countryside. From the restaurant terrace, you can enjoy panoramic views of Cranborne Chase and the rolling hills of Dorset. But imagine the view you'll have from the cockpit of your plane - it's a privilege to experience it! This airfield is truly special because of 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 is more than just a sightseeing trip - it's a flying lesson, and you'll have the chance to pilot the Piper yourself!
