Harvard Warbird Aerobatics Experience
About the experience
Explore the power of a 1953 'Wacky Wabbit' T-6 Harvard in this thrilling 20 Minute Aerobatics Experience at Conington Airfield in Peterborough. If you love the idea of soaring at speed and height through the skies, all whilst getting to know a pivotal plane that trained thousands of pilots at the turn of the last century, this is the ideal flying experience for you. Before darting through the skies, your instructor will give you an in-depth briefing explaining all the safety measures and controls, before you take a seat in the rear of the aircraft which is fully equipped with dual controls. As you soar through the air, your pilot will show you examples of Aileron rolls, Half Cubans, Derry Turns and the inside loop. At the end of the experience, you'll have got to know what G force feels like alongside getting up close and personal with a key plane used during the Battle of Briton and to train the country's fleet of pilots. For those who love their history, and their flights on the daring side, look no further than this Aerobatics Experience in the heart of Peterborough.
