Flying Experiences in the South East

Experience the exhilarating thrill of private flying across the South East of England during your own introductory flying lesson. Take the controls of a light aircraft under the supervision of a flying expert and learn some basic manoeuvres during the 30-minute session. Alternatively, you could take a 60-minute lesson from a skilful and knowledgeable instructor that could get you truly bitten by the flying bug.

For the more adventurous flyer why not make the most of an acrobatic flying experience. The pilot will take you through a whole acrobatic sequence and even invite you to take hold of the controls. This experience will surely allow you to sample the thrills of flying loops in the air and have you imagining that you're part of an acrobatic flying display. Alternatively you could soar through the sky like a bird in a micro light and enjoy the views at closer proximity.

More sedate adventures can be had rising gently in a hot air balloon while sipping champagne and watching the beautiful scenery of South Eastern England go by. Why not treat your other half to the breath taking views and sunrise over one of the home countries?

Best Gift Ever

This is a great gift, booking was simple and the communication with Clifton Aviation was excellent. My son had an amazing time and it even counts towards flying hours when he wants to train to be a pilot

Superb day

Absolutely fabulous day. The whole team were very professional throughout. No long waiting session beforehand. They responded quickly to any correspondence and were polite and engaging. The pilot was more than happy to answer any questions and to show us the sights of London. Myself and my wife loved it! Highly recommend.

Brilliant ?? intro experience learning to fly

Highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting to have a taster of flying. I was allowed to help taxi the plane, take the control during the flight and had the most awesome time seeing Blackpool from the air in the sun. The instructor was friendly, encouraging and helped calm any nerves. You don’t get that long in the air but it was perfect for me as a taster session. I highly recommend the team at Blackpool.

Fantastic Visit

It was awesome to see the 3rd out of the 18 remaining Concorde’s, to go on board and the information from the guide and films was so interesting. An unforgettable experience. Another highlight was being able to board and look round the Sultan of Oman’s former private jet.
