// 60 minute flight experience
The perfect gift for absolutely anyone! After a briefing, you'll get the chance to take the controls of one of our aircraft as you take to the skies around Northumberland. You'll get to see the stunning coastline, castles and scenery that this wonderful county has to offer.
By far our most popular experience is the 60 minute flight. You'll have an hour in the sky. Apart from the seals on the beach at Holy Island you can expect to see;
Alnwick Castle, Brunton Airfield, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses, Beadnell Bay, Dunstanburgh Castle, Warkworth Castle, Alnmouth, Amble & Druridge Bay.
To remember your experience we can now film the entire flight in HD from the cockpit including audio. You'll hear the pilot, passenger & air traffic controllers on the video - the perfect addition to this gift experience.
““Booked a flight experience for my son for his 14th birthday, he had a brilliant time, thank you to his pilot, ‘best thing I’ve ever done’ Aarons words.
We will be seeing you again, as Grandad was hinting for a flight for his birthday””
