Arrived early and so much was going on re different aircraft etc. Plenty of food and drinks available. My flexi wing microlight flight was a fantastic 80th birthday gift and a really great experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. The staff and the pilot were all very informative and during the flight the pilot pointed out all that was going on in the air and on the ground. I highly recommend this and hopefully one day do it all again.

On the day the weather was nice. I handed over my print out quick point to the pilot and went round to the small hangar and got my got flying suit on. Asked to carefully ease into seat, strapped in, brief safety checks. Set off across airfield 10 minutes to take off. Once in the air it was exhilarating but reminded me of coming into land or taking of on holiday. Quick 20 minute flight over Pitsford Reservoir. Returned to base, smooth landing out of the microlight and it was very quick, except the helmet strap was tricky to remove.

This is a great present from Experience Days. My wife got it me last Xmas and you get ages before the voucher runs out - I think it's nearly a year before it does. So plenty of time to get organised and book the event etc. Vouchers like this give you the opportunity to try things you wouldn't normally try. The prices are affordable and like I said before, they make really great Xmas pressies!
