Thoroughly enjoyed the experience of my flying lesson and they were very professional and helpful.

Karen El Karti

The experience was great and the people were lovely.

Sarah O'Kane

I was given a flying lesson as a present. It was something I always wanted to do. It was an amazing experience. The instructor was very happy to answer all my questions and give some information about continuing lessons to get a piolt's licence. The view was an experience in itself. I would recommend the experience to anyone.

George O'Toole

Simply the best experience of my life! Of my 45 minute flight I flew - yes I flew -for 40 minutes - how good is that? Never imagined for one moment I would get control for such a long period and Dave my pilot just let me get on with it. I cannot thank the people at Cumbernauld enough the trip of a lifetime and the bucket list well and truly ticked. I will just have to win the lottery now and learn how to fly!

Melanie Gibbons

This flying lesson was a gift was for my father, a 72 year old action man. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was money well spent. He said that the scenery was incredible and enjoyed being in the cockpit, quizzing the pilot.

April Close

The aeroplane was smaller than I had thought it would be. Quite cramped and strong smell of aviation fuel. An interesting experience and the pilot was very informative about all the places we could see. Luckilyy, it was a clear day so visibility was good.

My experience was a 20 minute flying experience from Cumbernauld airport. My instructor John introduced himself him a kind and responsive manner. He showed me out to the airfield and showed me the aircraft we would be flying. It was a Cessna 152 the plane it's self looked old however it still purred like a cat and at no point did I not feel safe. After take off I realised that the radio/intercom system was very poor and I couldn't hear a word what John was saying to me. After a few hand signals he gave me full control of the Cessna. I have had some flight simulator experience so I pretty much knew what I was doing. After 20 minutes of flying he directed me back to the airfield and allowed me to descend when we got to around 100ft John took over the controls. The weather was a mild day with low winds and the aircraft was a little shakey therefor I can understand if flights are cancelled due to weather, this would have been an awful experience if it was really windy. The full experience was great from start to finish only thing that was annoying was the radio system. I felt like I was annoying asking him to repeat everything and still not being able to hear. I would highly recommend. If the company had to upgrade there radio/intercom I can't see why anyone would have a bad experience.

The flying lesson was for my husbands birthday. The lesson was at Cumbernauld. Everyone was lovely. He absolutely loved it. Now I need to start saving to get him one for his Christmas lol! Would definitely recommend this to a friend. Great experience.

CAMERON MCGUIRE

I, in the future want to be a commercial pilot and was advised to take a flying lesson to know for sure. Can i just say the experience was amazing and my Training Pilot (Alistair) was first class. He explained every little detail and i came away with some excellent new knowledge. Would thoroughly recommend this experience.

Gordon,

I took my flying lesson last week in Cumbernauld and was totally delighted. Thank you Into the Blue for your assistance.

Having flown a small plane before at Scone airfield,I looked forward to repeating tbe experience at Cumbernauld.Booking was easy and then very stormy weather on the Mon in November 2024 led to flying being postponed.A quick word with Alan and it was re arranged for the Wednesday morning.Having already flown i took on board the advice and prepared to fly again.we took off and climbed to 2000 feet.I took over control when prompted and the instructor Scott taught me to climb and tight turn using the controls.It was totally exhillrating and i was very proud of myself.I am 77yrs old and i have today booked another 3 flights.I have only the highest praise for the guys at Cumbernauld for making the outing so GOOD Many Thanks Jack.
