Take a Flying Lesson across the North East
The feeling of soaring through the air is one of the most unique experiences, but guess what takes it to the next level? When you are in the driving seat. Flying Lessons aren’t just a fantastic way to explore the landscape and marvel at the landmarks below, but a great chance for you to master a new skill, or fulfil a lifelong dream of learning how to fly. After all, the freedom it can give you through the skies once you’ve got a licence is unparalleled.
In the North East, there is some of the most diverse scenery around. From rolling hills to historic cities and quaint farmlands, everything looks even better from the skies and feels better when you’re the one clocking up the miles. Whether you want to fly in a 2-seater or 4-seater plane, or fancy a helicopter or microlight, there is a huge range of Flying Lessons in the North East, suitable for a wide range of abilities, regardless of the stage you are at in your journey.
Paired with an expert instructor who will take you under their wing, you’ll likely fly out of a cosy, local flying school where the love for flying is simply contagious. After being run through the controls and safety briefing, you’ll take to the skies in no time and will get to experience the unique feeling of flying yourself through the skies.
Get a feel for flying with a Flight Simulator Experience in the North East
We get it, it’s a big deal to take on the challenge of learning how to fly a plane, especially for the first time. But there’s no better way to warm up to this experience than to get yourself booked into a Flight Simulator that often has a completely functioning cockpit, mirroring planes such as the Boeing 737. Here, you can explore the controls and choose where to fly all from the comfort of never leaving the ground.
With a huge range of Flight Simulator Experiences from Newcastle Airport, not only will you be part of the hustle and bustle of one of the busiest airports in the UK, but receive expert tuition from commercial pilots who will show you all of their tips and tricks for a smooth journey through the skies.
You can even explore a taster of what it was like to fly a Vintage Plane such as the Spitfire with cockpits built from original parts and restored to working order! If you and a history lover fancy competing against each other, you can even do a Battle of Britain Simulator experience where one of you will be in a German Messerschmitt BF109K and the other a Super marine Spitfire. With so many options to choose from, it’s safe to say you can still have plenty of flying fun without leaving the skies.
Gorgeous Helicopter Rides in the North East
If relaxation and sightseeing are more up your alley, why not plan a Helicopter Ride into your itinerary while exploring the North East? Although it’s wonderful to wander through the hills and explore towns and villages on foot, nothing compares to the amount of ground you can cover whilst hovering through the air, nor the spectacular aerial views you get during the ride.
Whether you opt for a Newcastle Angel of the North sightseeing tour or explore a coast and country ride, there are so many helicopter experiences available in this region, which will ignite your love for the area and encourage you to see the sights in a new way. With availability for groups of 2 or 4, it’s a great way to explore some of the outdoors with a like minded group of friends, or family. So what are you waiting for? Get yourself booked in with one of these choppers today.
Explore Skydiving in the North East
Dare to do something different with a Tandem Skydive in the North East! If there’s something in you that screams adventure, or you want a unique way to celebrate a special occasion, why not go all guns blazing and go for a Skydive across a picturesque location such as Durham? Strapped to an instructor, you’ll get a chance to fall from 5,000 or 10,000ft (depending on how brave you are feeling!) with a free fall time of up to 30 seconds.
As flying experiences go, there is nothing that compares to hurling yourself out of a plane from a great height and plummeting through the air. The bravest of you will keep your eyes open, allowing you to appreciate the stunning countryside scenery, but most people do close their eyes to brace themselves for this thrilling feeling as they spin through the skies! Ideal for special occasions or even fundraising events, Skydives are a one in a lifetime experience that you will never forget.
