Soar through the skies in a thrilling Extra 300, the aircraft equivalent to a F1 racing car!
Tail chase through the skies in an adrenalin-fuelled blast, where you get to go head to head with your opponent. Powered by a 300bhp Lycoming engine, the Extra 300 is an ultra light weight, state of the art, high technology display aircraft. During your thrilling flight you’ll be able to take the controls and experience the manoeuvring capabilities of the 300, fly basic aerobatics and learn how to tail chase, if that wasn’t enough you’ll also be playing ‘shoot the bandit’ whilst airborne!

Flying the Top Gun experience was Dom's dream come true. He must've worn out his DVD copy of the film he watches it so much. His face when he unwrapped the gift voucher was a picture! He had such a fantastic time tailchasing fighter jets and being a pilot going at ridiculous miles per hour! Much recommended for overgrown kids!
Melanie Johnson,
This whole flying experience was a 'dream come true' thing from start to finish. I recieved the voucher and was like an excited kid, that was nothing compared to what I was like when I got to the flying school! I got to fly the plane, experience an aerobatic flight, it was amazing!
