  • DVD of your flight time and an e-photo of each member of the family are included

Wind tunnels have been used for years to test the aerodynamics of cars. Then some bright spark came up with the idea of flipping one upright and jumping into the airflow - and body flying was born. The wind tunnel is a 120mph wall of air, easily strong enough to support your weight, so that you can experience freefall without the need to jump out of a plane. You'll start off with a safety briefing from your instructor before being kitted out with your specialist flight suits. Then step into the wind tunnel with your instructor, where you'll be lifted into the air for an incredible 10 minutes of body flying, shared between the family. (As a comparison, during a skydive from 10,000 feet, you would experience around 30 seconds of freefall.) If you're lucky, your instructor will jump on the flow and show you some astonishing freefall acrobatics. Your session will end with a debrief, and you'll also get a DVD of your flights to take home.

Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
