An extended helicopter flight that will see you take the controls!
This is your chance to experience a pure adrenaline rush as your instructor shows you the manoeuvrability of a modern helicopter - sideways, backwards, round in circles and then the tricky test of concentration and skill - the hover. Then it’s your turn to take the controls, climb away, take a look at the countryside, then come back down to earth for low-level flying (and we mean low!) and to see if you can handle the hover. Location: Lincolnshire, Peterborough (East) Bedfordshire, Kent, London, Middlesex, Herts, Surrey, Bucks (South East) Bristol, Bournemouth (South West) Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Northampton, Coventry (Midlands) Blackpool, Sheffield, Nottingham, Carlisle, Liverpool, Newcastle (North) Swansea (Wales) Aberdeen (Scotland) Belfast, Enniskillen (Northern Ireland)
