Wickenby Aerodrome Flying Experiences
The low lying land of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is some of the most stunning in all of the British Isles. Established in 1941 during World War II, when demand for airfields for heavy bombers was very high, and Lincolnshire was a prime location due to the amount of rural farming land that existed there.
After almost 15 years in disrepair and disuse, civil aviation returned with the formation of Wickenby Aerodrome in 1966, following two years of clearance and rebuilding, which still continues to this day. Several pleasure flight and Microlight flight schools operate from there, as well as one of the original RAF concrete runways, measuring 530 x 25 metres, refuelling and hangarage facilities.
Flying Lessons
Aviation is an enjoyable pastime, and in some cases has developed into a promising career. If you’ve got dreams of piloting your own plane, our range of Flying Lesson packages give you the opportunity to make that dream a reality at Wickenby.
Your first lessons, lasting 30 minutes, are all under the guidance of a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved instructor, so your first time handling the controls and taking a two-seater aeroplane up and away will count towards experience to obtain your Private Pilot’s Licence.
If you fancy getting some hands on experience in a Rotary Aircraft, head to Nottingham Heliport for an incredible Helicopter Flying Lesson in a two or four seater Heli.
Unique Flying Experiences
If you're looking for an interesting day out we have plenty of Flying Experiences on offer for you at Wickenby! For the thrill seekers why not try your hand at an incredible Wing Walking Experience. You read that right, stand strapped on top of a Vintage Starman Aircraft and soar the East Midland skies. A perfect gift for birthdays, stag dos, or just a bit of fun.
For something a more futuristic, we offer an amazing flight in a Fully Electric Aircraft! Yes, jet off in a fully electric VELIS Electro with an unforgettable 30 minute flight. Experience the silent cockpit and the simplicity of its design as you soar the skies in a fully green way.

Terms and Conditions for Wickenby Aerodrome
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.
