30 Minute Flying Lesson in a Vintage Tiger Moth
Our Ref: 132
Price: £254.00
For anybody with a love of vintage aircraft then this flying lesson is an experience they simply wont forget. Take to the skies in a brilliant Tiger Moth biplane, originally from the 1930's, for an activity gift experience of a lifetime. Participants are kitted out with all of the gear including a flying jacket and goggles, after all it gets very cold indeed in those open cockpits.
Forget jet engines this is what flying should really be like, cruising along at a little over 80 miles per hour with the wind rushing past and outstanding views of the British countryside below.
This flying lesson begins with a short briefing on safety and on how to control the plane, before long the participants board the aircraft. The passenger sits behind the pilot and the instructor will taxi onto the runway and take off. During the flight the passenger will get to take the controls of the aircraft for an experience of a lifetime. Also, if you take this activity at the Duxford venue the participant also gets free entry into the museum (usually £16) and guests get half price entry too.
The activity lasts around 1 hour in total with about 30 minutes of flight time.
This flying lesson is available on selected days between Wednesday and Sunday, mainly May to September but also on occasional dates throughout the year.
