Spring/Summer Flying
We often fly until sunset and in the summer that means as late as 9pm, so we can take you up after office hours. Flying really is the perfect antidote to a hard day's grind...! Evening flying frequently offers the best flying conditions for both microlighting and tandem hang gliding.
Autumn/Winter Flying...
We love flying in the winter. When the conditions are good, it means silky smooth air, low winds and less turbulence - perfect training weather. You'll be wrapped up warm in one of our super snug flying suits, with a cup of tea and a bacon butty in the Aviator Cafe to look forward to when you come down.
