Saltby Airfield Flying Experiences
Saltby Airfield in Leicestershire is a former World War II base used by both the RAF and the US Army Air Force, and was mainly used as a transport airfield. Saltby Airfield is located 8 miles north east of Melton Mowbray - a historic town famous for its pork pies - and a little over 12 miles south of Grantham.
Flying Lessons
For some amazing hands-on experience, take a look at our large range of Flying Lessons! Jetting off from Saltby, you'll be joined by an expert instructor who will guide you throughout the whole experience. They will handle the tricky take off and landing, and once airborne, the controls will be handed to you, much like a driving lesson, they will lead you through the technical aspects of flying and explain all the skills it takes to be a pilot. And as an added bonus, all flying lesson time can count towards a Private Pilots Licence (PPL) so if the budding pilot takes a real feel to flying, they can go on to learn and achieve a pilot's licence. With up to 3 hour lessons on offer, book a Flying Lesson Experience today and prepare to experience life as a pilot.
And if you have an interest in rotary flying, take a look at Nottingham Heliport for some incredible Helicopter Flying Lessons.
Microlight Flying Experiences
Microlight Flying is a wonderful experience for first-time flyers, these Light Sport Aircraft are essentially a mix between a small plane and hang glider and make for a wonderful aerial experience. With both the option of an open or closed cockpit, its a real opportunity to feel the wind flow through your hair as you embark on a journey with Flying Experiences in the East Midlands. And a special feature, these aircraft allow for spectacular 360-degree views! Much like our offer of both Traditional Flying and Helicopter Lessons, we also offer a rotary option with a fantastic range of Gyrocopter Flight Experiences.
Gliding Experiences
For a relaxing flight over the East Midlands, how about trying a Gliding Experience? Soar through the skies and take in the wonderful sights of the countryside down below with a 15-minute experience - if you fancy a longer session, head to Crowland Airfield where they have a number of different options!

Terms and Conditions for Saltby Airfield
Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.
Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).
In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
