About the experience
Explore the rustic Jurassic coastline of Devon from the air in this glider flight departing from Dunkeswell Airfield in Devon. Walking along the UNESCO World Heritage site is impressive enough on foot, but there’s nothing like being able to see the jutting coastline from the air as you gain a new perspective on this beautiful area. You’ll soon realise during this flight why this area of the country is so special and recognised for its unique landscape. From the air you’ll be flying towards Lyme Regis and then West along the coast to Exmouth, appreciating this journey from the air as you take in the stunning landscape. In this 60 minute flight there will be plenty of time to take photographs and if you’re up for it, you can even have a chance at flying the glider as it is equipped with dual control and pilots very willing to show you the basics. If you’ve ever fancied yourself as a pilot, this is a brilliant opportunity to get up close and personal because even if you don’t fancy taking the controls yourself, you’ll be sat right next to the pilot and can oversee all the various controls, as well as overhearing live air traffic control as you fly. If you crave a new perspective on this stunning area, or want to feel the thrills of being in a powerful glider boasting a large domed cockpit glass which gives unmatched in-flight visibility, this is the experience for you.
