Buzz Helicopter Flight Nothing else can rival the magic of vertical flight. From the moment you lift into the air, to the second that your helicopter settles gracefully back on the ground, it is a truly exhilarating and unforgettable experience. On arrival, you will be welcomed, briefed and given the opportunity to see and hear either the Bell Ranger or R44 helicopter at close quarters. Both types of helicopters easily climb gracefully to over 1000 feet and can accelerate to over a hundred miles an hour, so smoothly that you'll hardly notice as the power increases. You will have your own headset so you and the pilot can communicate during the flight (and don't forget to listen out for air traffic on the radio). Enjoy the sensation and the landscape beneath before you glide back to the ground. You are bound to want to revisit memories of the flight and show all your friends and family so don't forget to take your camera with you. Review this product + Add to my saved list |

Microlight Flying Experience The planes that most of us travel in are so big you hardly even know that you're in the air. Well, things couldn't be more different flying in a microlight. In fact, a trip on one of these nippy, lightweight little flying machines is about as close as you can get to being a bird. It's an exhilarating experience - and one which needs strong nerves and a real head for heights! You'll start off with a short briefing from your instructor, before hopping into your microlight. There are two types of microlight: 'flex wing', based on the frame of a hang glider; or 'fixed wing', which is similar to a conventional light aircraft. They all have dual controls, so you're in safe hands at all times. You'll be impressed by the speed and manoeuvrability of this little craft, and your instructor will encourage you to have a go at the controls yourself (we don't reckon you'll need much encouragement). If you get a taste for it, your flying time can count towards a microlight Private Pilot's Licence. Review this product + Add to my saved list |

Sightseeing Pleasure Flight Over London This experience gives you a unique perspective on the sights of London - and one that doesn't involve being either cooped up on the tube or jostled on crowded pavements. After a short pre-flight briefing you'll board a Piper Seneca twin-engine plane for a fantastic half hour sightseeing trip. After taking off in Essex you'll follow the Thames west into the heart of the city, getting a view of the capital that most people only see on the opening titles of EastEnders. You'll see the Millennium Dome, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, the towers at Canary Wharf, the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament, then turn north to fly over Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and the royal parks, before heading back east to land in Essex. You'll get an amazing perspective on the geography of the city and the beauty of its landmarks - and whether you're a tourist or a Londoner born and bred, you'll see the capital in a whole new way.

Aerotow Gliding Flight Gliding is perhaps the most elegant way that humans can get airborne. It's a breathtaking way to fly, soaring on the same rising currents of air that the birds use, with no roaring engine to spoil the peace. You'll start with a briefing session so that you'll know what to expect, before climbing aboard your dual-controlled glider with your expert instructor. Then the glider is towed into the air by a light aircraft (okay, this bit is noisy, but you have to get airborne somehow). Once you're at a height of around 2,000ft the rope is released, the aircraft peels away and you're free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents. You might be joined in the thermal by a bird - you can never do it as well as they can, but it's great fun trying! You'll enjoy breathtaking views of the countryside below you and the sky around you. And - at the pilot's discretion - you might be able to take the controls and trying controlling the glider yourself. Unforgettable. Review this product + Add to my saved list |

30 Minute Light Aircraft Flight If we were meant to fly, we'd have wings. We've got the Wright brothers to thank for the alternative - light aircraft. With this experience you'll get to fly a plane yourself - fantastic fun whether you're trying it as a one-off, or taking your first steps towards a Private Pilot's Licence. Your experience starts with your feet firmly on the ground and a briefing about flying techniques and safety. Then climb aboard your two or four seater training plane with a fully-qualified instructor. Each venue flies different craft but, with famous names from Cessna to Piper on the cockpit, you can be confident you're piloting the 'sports cars' of the aeronautical world. Next it's chocks away for your 30 minute flight, during which time (at the pilot's discretion) you can take the flight controls and experience the absolute joy of flying a plane. The feeling of control is brilliant, not to mention the breathtaking views... you'll never look at the earth in quite the same way again. Review this product + Add to my saved list |

Once airborne, your expert instructor will show you what it can do - so hang on tight for a breathtaking full aerobatic sequence including rolls, loops and stall turns. Then if you want to have a go (and we're pretty sure that you will) your instructor will hand over the controls and you can experience the thrill of flying a plane.

Introduction To Gliding Gliding is perhaps the most elegant way that humans can get airborne. It's a breathtaking way to fly, soaring on the same rising currents of air that the birds use, with no roaring engine to spoil the peace. Your experience includes around an hour in the air over two or three flights (depending on location), plus expert instruction. You'll start with a briefing session so that you'll know what to expect, before climbing aboard your dual-controlled glider with your expert instructor. Then the glider is towed into the air by a light aircraft (okay, this bit is noisy, but you have to get airborne somehow).

Sunrise Hot Air Ballooning Have you ever looked up to see a hot air balloon drifting silently overhead? With this experience it'll be you in the basket of the balloon, looking down as everyone else is still waking up. First off (with feet still firmly on the ground!), you'll meet your pilot and get a flight safety briefing, before helping to prepare and inflate the balloon then climb into the basket, ready for launching. Flying at heights of up to 5,000 feet, you'll gaze down at the beautiful views of the countryside below and enjoy the restful peace and quiet (except for when the propane burners are going that is). Because the balloon moves with the wind, you'll feel no wind at all, just sheer enjoyment. After landing you can help the crew pack the balloon away, before enjoying a celebratory glass of champagne (or soft drink) and being driven back to the launch site (who knows where you'll land? - you can't steer balloons!). You'll also be presented with a commemorative flight certificate to take home. Review this product + Add to my saved list |

Tandem Hang Gliding Mother nature may not have given us wings, but science has given us hang gliders instead. This experience lets you fly like a bird. After a full briefing, your BHPA-qualified instructor will introduce you to the tandem glider: a rigid-winged ATOS VX, specifically designed for tandem flight and one of the best gliders in the world. You'll be shown how to get into to the harness and once secured, you and your instructor will be towed into the air behind a microlight tug. Once you're at a height of around 2,000ft the rope is released, the microlight pulls away and you're free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents above the beautiful Essex countryside, with incredible views of the earth and the sky. It really will take your breath away. One-day membership of the BHPA (British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association) is also included. Review this product + Add to my saved list |

A Helicopter Flight Plane travel has become pretty commonplace - and even a bit of chore, with scrums for seats on low-cost airlines and interminable queues and checks. But a helicopter flight is still something that very few people have tried - pretty much reserved for royalty and the super-rich. With this experience you'll join this select club (well, you'll fly in a helicopter, we can't make you a millionaire). After a briefing on flying techniques and safety, climb aboard a dual-controlled training helicopter, usually a Robinson R22. You'll be accompanied by an expert pilot, so you'll be in safe hands. The vertical take-off is astounding, and the thrills will continue as your pilot shows you how the chopper can move forward, backward, sideways or simply hover motionless in the air. Frankly, it makes planes seem run of the mill! At the pilot's discretion, you'll have the chance to take the controls, and feel for yourself the adrenaline rush of manoeuvring these amazing craft.

Tandem Skydiving - Parachute Jump With Dvd Jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet might be considered utter madness. But if close friends start wondering aloud about your sanity (or the contents of your will), you can reassure them that you'll be attached (literally) to an expert instructor and that, frankly, you're in for an experience so exhilarating that you'll probably never going to stop talking about it. It begins with around an hour of instruction, before you go up in the plane. You'll be securely harnessed to your instructor, who will help you jump from the plane (or at least help you fall with style). You'll get about 30 seconds of freefall, which is so completely incredible there's no point in us trying to describe it. Then your instructor will open the parachute and control your descent while you admire the view and try to come to terms with the adrenaline rush. Back on firm ground, you'll take home a photo and DVD of your flight. Review this product + Add to my saved list |

After a buffet lunch back at the tower, let someone else do the driving on a flight over Cambridge in a De Havilland Dragon Rapide, recreating the early years of passenger air travel and enjoying unrivalled views over the Fens and the city. Then get a short, private guided tour of Duxford's aircraft collection, including Spitfires, a B17 and the prototype Concorde. You'll finish with a champagne toast and a certificate presentation.
