What's included
Experience the thrill of taking to the skies in a high performance aerobatic aircraft just like those those used in the famous Red Bull Air Race series.
On arrival you will be briefed by your highly experienced instructor who will explain the basic aircraft controls, safety matters and what the flight will include. Once you are kitted out in your flying suit it's outside to the aircraft and chance for family and friends to take pictures as you 'strap the aircraft on!'.
Your instructor will talk you through everything as he takes you through a series of breathtaking manoeuvres which are guaranteed to get your pulse racing! Then it's your turn – you will be offered the chance to take the controls of the aircraft and try your hand at some basic manoeuvres yourself. All of our aircraft have dual controls.
During the flight you will cover some of the following ( depending on how strong your stomach is).
* Slow flight – Level, climbing, turning & descending
* Stall Turns
* Loops
* Aileron (Ballistic) Roll
* Barrel Roll
* Slow Roll
Once you have had a go at flying you can sit back and marvel at the views of Cambridge and the surrounding countryside.
If you don't fancy the thought of aerobatic flight, it's not obligatory. If you change your mind part way through then your instructor will adjust the flight as well! We can make the flight as gentle or as extreme as you like. It's up to you!
For the techies out there - the Extra 200, designed and built by the German Extra Aircraft Company, is an unlimited class aerobatic aircraft capable of sustained flight loads of +/- 10g with an ultimate breaking load of 23g!
Our Extra 200 is fitted with state-of-the-art cameras and digital audio recording units which will capture the action from a pilot’s perspective from the aircraft cockpit, along with your shrieks of pleasure!
