Details for the 'Junior Aviator' 30 Minute Lesson (11 Selected Venues)

Product ID: 18088

Ever wondered what it would be like to take the controls of a real aircraft? This 30 Minute Lesson gives young aviation fans aged 8 and over the chance to find out for themselves at one of 11 selected venues across the UK. They’ll climb into the cockpit alongside a qualified instructor and head into the skies for a proper introduction to flying. There’s no sitting back and watching either, as they’ll get the opportunity to take control of the aircraft during the lesson. From getting settled in the cockpit to heading down the runway and taking to the skies, it’s a hands on experience from start to finish. The instructor will be there throughout to guide them, making this a brilliant first step for any youngster with their sights set on becoming a pilot. And while they’re up there living the dream, parents and family can watch from the ground and grab a few photos to remember the day. If planes are their thing, this could be the perfect excuse to get them out of the passenger seat and into the pilot’s seat.
