Amazing experience Learnt loads and really got to handle the plane. Easily booked, friendly and helpful staff. Best of all was able to share the experience with my 7 year old son and father in law as I was allowed 2 passengers. Highly recommend to anyone

Had the pleasure of flying the Cessna 152 today at Thruxton Airport the experience with Pilot flight training was nothing short of fantastic Tom the Head Flying instructor was great and within a short 30minutes turned someone with zero flying experience to knowing the basics of flying. Highly recommend this experience and definitely a day I will always remember. Thank you Tom and the team.
