Into the Blue

Aerobatic Experience
The Aerobatic Experience is a ride in a purpose built aerobatic aircraft such as a CAP 10 or Zlin 526. The aircraft will be in the capable hands of one of the elite aerobatic pilots such as British Champion James Black.

Into the Blue Following a detailed briefing of the flight the passenger will be securely strapped in - or to put it another way the aircraft will be securely strapped to the passenger. Following the take off and climb to 2,000 feet the fun begins. It goes something like this - a couple of steep turns to get you in the mood, then a couple of loops, next a stall turn followed by a series of rolls...

... in fact up to ten aerobatic manoeuvres will be expertly demonstrated. For those who start to feel queasy there is always the option of straight and level flying and sightseeing. No-one on the ground need ever know! But to be honest, this rarely happens. Most of our passengers cry out for more, not less.
