    Gliding Additional Information

    Gliding Experience Gifts

    Gliding is an exciting and accessible air sport that is totally unlike any standard flying experience, using thermo-dynamics to keep the aircraft afloat as you drift leisurely back to earth. For something with a little more roar, you can also try motor gliding which was an adaptation on the original 19th century design, adding a retractable motor to allow more control of the aircraft. 

    One of the most popular gliding flights available is the 20 Minute Motor Glider Trial Flight in Chipping Norton, the perfect introduction to a hugely enjoyable air sport. With an expert pilot at the helm, you'll experience a smooth take-off and once airborne, the controls will be handed over to you! With the scenic Oxfordshire countryside sprawling beneath you, this is the ultimate way to see the sights.

    For an authentic non-motor gliding flight, the Gliding Experience in East Anglia is just the ticket. The aircraft is towed by a small plane up to 2,000ft, then released! The pilot will get the glider steady and heading in the right direction, then you're welcome to take the controls if you're feeling up to it, before passing them back to the pilot to land back at the airfield. Great fun!

    My sister bought me this voucher as a gift, and whilst I had been gliding before it was when I was very young - probably only 10yo or so. The Cambridge Gliding Club took great care of me, and took me up for a very good and long glide, even giving me a bit of a tutorial and the opportunity to take control of the glider. They were also nice enough to invite me to stay for their social event after the flight, and even to come back another time for another go. I really enjoyed this, and would highly recommend for anyone with an interest in flying or gliding!
