First-class flying experience

First-class flying experience Our instructor Jonathan was absolutely superb professional experienced and extremely encouraging from the second we met He pitched the whole lesson perfectly and was also engaging and positive throughout The company are running a second to none experience and we appreciated them putting so much effort in ensuring we had an enjoyable time Nothing but good things to say

Land away flight lesson experience

My son aged 13 has said he would like to be a pilot for a few years and had a 1 hour Land Away Experience with Bristol and Wessex Aeroplane Club This is normally an experience for 2 people but in this case we asked if he could do all the flying His instructor Jonathan Cormack was fantastic He was very calm and explained clearly to my son how to control the plane and gave him plenty of opportunities to test his new-found skills with controlling it in the air as well as those all important take offs and landings The experience involves two take offs and landings - it can be at Bristol Airport and another hence the name Land Away but in our case all was on the main runway of Bristol Airport which in itself is pretty exhilarating As it was a 4 seater plane I sat in the rear along with my older son which was also an amazing experience even for someone who flies on passenger planes most weeks I can t fault the experience we are all still buzzing about it even over 2 weeks later and though it seems like a once in a lifetime experience it was so good that we ll be saving up for another go

Birthday present
