Product ID: 15173

Experience open air flying with this Microlight Flying Experience from the historic Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire. This airfield has a significant place in aviation history, as it first opened its doors in 1928 and has been teaching people to fly through the skies ever since! If you're new to flying, microlighting is the way forward. These nifty planes are easy to steer and control and are very forgiving if you're just getting used to the controls. Not only will you get to experience a trial lesson from an airfield who specialises in microlights, but enjoy the unique sensation of open cockpit flying! In the breezy British air it can be a refreshing experience to say the least, but is certain to be one you remember - but rest assured you'll be dressed to the nines in a helmet and full flying suit to protect you against the full force of the wind. If mastering flying has always been on your bucket list, this is the ideal experience for you! With beginners in mind and experts on hand to put you at ease, you won't want to miss out on these microlight flights from Sywell Aerodrome.

The microlitght flight was excellent, instructor, who was excellent, wasted no time in getting me up into the air to maximise the time I had. Brilliant experience the only complaint was that it did not last long enough Will definitely do it again.

My microlight flight was the most amazing thing Ive ever done I would recommend this to absolutely anybody. The whole thing was so organised and the instructor went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience possible.

Reviewed by: Shannon

Great day out the experience was brilliant just goes to show youre never too old to do something new and exhilarating. The microlight flight was really good just like being in an old kite that was open to the eliments. Flew around sywell and beyond the pilot was really good and knowledgeable would do again.

A very enjoyable experience

Excellent experience with a great instructor. Booking was easier, and once I was there I was made to feel at ease and welcome. I learnt a lot about the process of learning to fly and also got to see historic places from the sky. The flight itself was wonderful and I felt very safe , the instructor asked if there were any areas Id like to see and we flew over my house so my husband could see. I would do it all again.

I bought this experience for my husband and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was fantastic and a great experience overall.

I did a 60 min microlight flight and the experience was excellent. The pilot was there to greet me as soon as I arrived and made me feel really welcome. The flight was great from beginning to end and the pilot explained how and what he was doing while flying over my house and famous landmarks in the area. The aerodrome has a bar and cafe and a large viewing area. It was an excellent experience
