About the experience
Looking for an unforgettable experience? We have just the thing for you! Imagine soaring through the air in a modern motor glider without needing a tug plane or winch. With our special offer, you can purchase vouchers for a 30 or 60-minute flight from Sandhill Farm private airfield, located just outside Swindon. Take off under the aircraft's own power and experience the thrill of trundling along the runway with a massive wingspan. Once you're up in the air, you can fly up to the height you want, switch off the engine, and soar through the sky. It's an incredible feeling to go from man-made to natural, with only the wind carrying you. As you soar through the sky, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the Vale of White Horse and Dragon Hill, just beyond. The airfield is located on the edge of West Oxfordshire, making it the perfect place to start your adventure. Our modern motor glider has a side-by-side cockpit, which means you'll be sitting next to your instructor. This gives you the advantage of being able to watch and learn from the pilot's every move. You'll feel confident and secure during the flight, knowing that you're in good hands. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even take control of the glider yourself. Our aircraft is dual control, so you can learn to fly with the guidance of your instructor.
