Had an amazing afternoon. A very different experience to being in a plane. Fantastic way to view the Kent countryside and estuary at the Isle of Sheppey looking towards Whitstable and Herne Bay. Would highly recommend a microlight flight

I had such a magical time. Easy to redeem the voucher clear instructions on the day. Super warm welcome by our guide and really accommodating to my family come to watch on the day. Pilot was very knowledgeable and informative, and walked through the pre flight checks and what was required. The headset was great understanding all the communication to and from the Traffic Control. Fabulous flight out to towards the Thames Estuary, Isle of Sheppey, Sittingbourne and return. Marvellous experience Thanks Jason and Team.

very enjoyable experience, but you need to be fairly supple and not have a neck or back problem if you sit in the back
Reviewed by: julie
the pilot was very friendly and helpful loved every minute . but if you need to sit in the back of a flexi wing plane you need to be a bit flexible your self not good for a person with neck, knee or back issues.

Arrived for my Microlight flight on a windy day. Unfortunately, as warned earlier on the phone, it was much too windy to take the flexible wing Micro up. Because we had a hotel booked to spend a weekend in the area we had decided to go anyway and had to make do with the fixed wing Microlight which was great fun anyway The people running the centre were friendly and facilities basic but good. Must go back sometime and do the Flexiwing flight.

Fanastic to actually fly in an actual microlight and not one that was just like a light plane.Very very enjoyable.

I bought my son a microlight experience for his 21st birthday and the day of his flight we all headed to the airfield with him. All the way there I was a little nervous and I think he was too as it was completely new, something hed never done before and a bit scary. When I saw the microlight I wondered what Id let him my baby in for, going several hundred feet up in the air in a bath tub with wings I neednt have worried though because he loved every single minute of it. He was allowed to take the controls and told us about how the instructor had switched off the engine for a while so they could glide. It was a truly memorable experience. Well worth every penny.
