About Pleasure Flights
-
The Cessna 172, is the longest lasting and most popular in history, first produced in 1956 and still on sale today.
-
The Dragon Rapide wasn't just used for pleasure flights. An MI6 agent flew Francisco Franco (who would go on to be General Franco) in a Dragon Rapide from the Canary Islands to Morocco during the opening phase of the Spanish Civil War. Very definitely not a pleasure flight.
-
Cessna as a company has an amazing 250 Pilot Centres around the world that have been teaching people how to fly for over 30 years, so you know you're in safe hands when you choose one of our bestselling flight experiences.

Customer Reviews of our pleasure flight gifts
My brother paints models of vintage planes but has never actually been on a flight in one so his wife and I teamed up and bought him your Dragon Rapide Flight over Cambridge for his 40th. When we arrived at the Imperial War Museum and took him over to the Dragon Rapide and told him he was flying in it, he was so excited!

I took my youngest, Matthew on this Stratford Fly Together experience as he is very into aeroplanes and the idea of flying at the moment. The memory of his excited little face and how he was pointing at the scenery out of the plane window will stay with me forever.
