Details for the 15 Minute Glider Lesson in Denbigh

Product ID: 17762

Experience the thrill of silent flight with a 15-minute glider flight from Lleweni Parc Airfield in the heart of Denbighshire. Surrounded by the stunning scenery of North Wales, it's a unique opportunity to see the countryside from a whole new perspective. You will fly in a modern Twin II Acro two-seater glider, taking off behind a tow plane before being released at around 2,000ft. As the engine noise disappears, you will enjoy the peaceful sensation of soaring through the skies. During the flight, your instructor may even give you the chance to take the controls and experience flying the glider for yourself. With North Wales renowned for its excellent gliding conditions, this is a fantastic introduction to one of the most exhilarating forms of aviation.

A wonderful experience on a perfect day with a clear blue sky. A really friendly and informative greeting followed by an amazing flight. My wife, who was watching the take off and landing, was made very comfortable while I was in the air and offered a drink. She also heard the radio communications.

This was a birthday present which had been delayed due to the Covid19 pandemic several times. C19 restrictions notwithstanding, this was excellent fun, due mainly to the pilot and the weather this was the flying lesson experience youll need both hands free Some of the facilities on the ground were midconstruction theyre building a flight simulator but this didnt detract too much as we were the only ones there on the day. Be prepared to sign away your life of course, but one of the benefits in doing so is that you become a member of the flying club for 30 days, and so if youre in the area you can go up again at considerably less cost than the experience day. If youve got a gopro or similar and a chest or head mount this is an excellent opportunity for some aerial photos but unfortunately the review system was unable to upload a photo when I wrote this review

This was without doubt one of the best experiences I have ever had. To be able to fly at low level over the mountains I have climbed so many times was unforgettable. My pilot was excellent and gave me the controls for part of the fight. I never thought I would be able to add fly a plane to the list of things I have done. I would thoroughly recommend this experience.
