Product Information
Gliding is perhaps the most elegant way that humans can get airborne. It's a breathtaking way to fly, soaring on the same rising currents of air that the birds use, with no roaring engine to spoil the peace. You'll start with a briefing session so that you'll know what to expect, before climbing aboard your dual-controlled glider with your expert instructor. Then the glider is towed into the air by a light aircraft (okay, this bit is noisy, but you have to get airborne somehow). Once you're at a height of around 2,000ft the rope is released, the aircraft peels away and you're free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents. You might be joined in the thermal by a bird - you can never do it as well as they can, but it's great fun trying! You'll enjoy breathtaking views of the countryside below you and the sky around you. And - at the pilot's discretion - you might be able to take the controls and trying controlling the glider yourself. Unforgettable.

Have you ever looked up to see a hot air balloon drifting silently overhead? With this experience it'll be you in the basket of the balloon, looking down. First, with your feet still firmly on the ground, you'll meet your pilot and get a flight safety briefing, before helping to prepare and inflate the balloon. Then you'll climb into the basket ready for launching. You'll fly at heights of up to 5,000 feet, enjoying beautiful views of the countryside below, and the restful peace and quiet (except for when the propane burners are going, that is). Because the balloon moves with the wind, you'll feel no wind at all, just sheer enjoyment. After landing you can help the crew pack the balloon away, before a celebratory glass of champagne (or a soft drink) and being driven back to the launch site (who knows where you'll land? - you can't steer balloons!). You'll be presented with a commemorative flight certificate, and some centres also offer the chance to purchase an in-flight photo.

Product Information
Start with a comprehensive briefing and chat through specific requirements with your instructor so the flight can be tailored to what you want (and how brave you feel). Then don a Biggles-style flying jacket before climbing into the cockpit of a vintage 1930s Stampe SV4 aircraft (a classic Belgian version of the English Tiger Moth) and the model you'll fly in has been lovingly restored. Feel the rush of the wind from the open cockpit as your pilot puts the plane through a breathtaking aerobatic sequence (subject to weather conditions and at the pilot's discretion). If you take the controls yourself, discover the sensation that has made generations of flyers fall in love with these great little planes. Receive a flight certificate to take home.

Nothing else can rival the magic of vertical flight. From the moment you lift into the air, to the second that your helicopter settles gracefully back on the ground, it is a truly exhilarating and unforgettable experience. On arrival you'll be welcomed, briefed and given the opportunity to see and hear an R44 helicopter at close quarters. These helicopters climb easily and gracefully to over 1,000 feet and can accelerate to over a hundred miles an hour, so smoothly that you'll hardly notice as the power increases. You'll have your own headset so you and the pilot can communicate during the flight (you can also listen in to air traffic over the radio). Enjoy the sensation and the landscape beneath before you glide back down to the ground. You're bound to want to revisit memories of the flight and show all your friends and family, so don't forget to take your camera with you.

Even with little or no flying experience, you can take to the skies and join in this ultimate air race. Kick off with a thorough briefing and a practise flight, where you learn to fly the cutting edge Extra 300 race plane (as used in the Red Bull Air Race event) including tight corners. Enjoy a snack lunch with your pilot and talk tactics as you prepare for the big race. Start by diving down to low levels at speeds in excess of 200mph, select 'smoke on' and storm across the start. Then pass through a series of simulated gates at high speed either with wings exactly level, or at 90 degrees - in 'knife-edge' flight! No matter what your previous experience, YOU will fly the aeroplane, with an experienced aerobatic and ex-military instructor with you to make sure that it is safe. Once all the competitors have taken their individual turns, it's fingernail biting time as you await the results. Have you been the fastest of the day? A results certificate signed by your pilot is yours to keep.
