About the experience

Experience open air flying with this Microlight Flying Experience from the historic Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire. This airfield has a significant place in aviation history, as it first opened its doors in 1928 and has been teaching people to fly through the skies ever since! If you're new to flying, microlighting is the way forward. These nifty planes are easy to steer and control and are very forgiving if you're just getting used to the controls. Not only will you get to experience a trial lesson from an airfield who specialises in microlights, but enjoy the unique sensation of open cockpit flying! In the breezy British air it can be a refreshing experience to say the least, but is certain to be one you remember - but rest assured you'll be dressed to the nines in a helmet and full flying suit to protect you against the full force of the wind. If mastering flying has always been on your bucket list, this is the ideal experience for you! With beginners in mind and experts on hand to put you at ease, you won't want to miss out on these microlight flights from Sywell Aerodrome.

The microlitght flight was excellent, instructor, who was excellent, wasted no time in getting me up into the air to maximise the time I had. Brilliant experience the only complaint was that it did not last long enough Will definitely do it again.

Great day out the experience was brilliant just goes to show youre never too old to do something new and exhilarating. The microlight flight was really good just like being in an old kite that was open to the eliments. Flew around sywell and beyond the pilot was really good and knowledgeable would do again.
