About the experience

Flying lessons at Manston Airport in Kent! Enjoy an extended 60-minute trial flight in a light sport aircraft from this historic aerodrome in the Thanet district. Fly an Ikarus C42, a responsive and easy-to-handle two-seater trainer aircraft that offers superb visibility for taking in the Kent coastline and countryside. With plenty of time in the air, you will experience more of the local area, from Cliffsend and Ramsgate to wider views across the Kent coast. This fully hands-on lesson lets you take the controls once airborne, guided by your instructor as you fly over local landmarks, including the Spitfire and Hurricane memorial and the RAF Manston museum on the airfield. With its rich aviation heritage dating back to 1916, Manston provides the perfect setting for a longer, more immersive flying experience, an unforgettable 60-minute introduction to life in the cockpit.
