Formation flying in ex military planes over the English countryside. Guaranteed to thrill!
In planes that, until recently were used by the Swedish Airforce, take to the skies over England with a fully qualified instructor to put the quick and manoeuvrable Bulldog through its paces. Following a detailed safety and technical briefing, a formation take off, aerobatic flying and a formation loop are just some of the possibilities during your 30 minute flight. The real highlight is the opportunity to tail chase one of the other planes, just like you have seen it done in the films!

This really was one of the best days of my life. Flying gives you one of the most amazing rushes ever. The best bit though is when you get to tail-chase another plane which is just incredible, although a little nerve-wracking at first!

Top Gun is so my favourite film ever, and not just because of Tom Cruise! I am always jealous of those fighter pilots flying their planes at breakneck speeds! When my darling boyfriend gave me this gift experience voucher I was excited for months! The day did not disappoint! I was strapped into a parachute(!) and climbed into the cockpit of my aeroplane and off we went! The flight school took really good care of me and I even got to chase the tail of another jet!
