Flight Experiences in Oxford

Whether you’re looking to take your first steps as a budding pilot or need an unforgettable gift for a loved one, our range of Oxford flight experiences is bound to have something for you.

Once-In-A-Lifetime Oxford Flight Experiences

There’s nothing quite like being behind the controls of a plane. The thrill, excitement, and freedom of being up in the sky is something extraordinary. Our Oxford experiences help you live out your dreams of flight in a safe and fun environment.

Flying Lessons Over The Oxfordshire Countryside

If you are looking for the most beautiful flight experience, Oxford is the perfect location. There’s no better place for flying in the country, especially on a clear day. It doesn’t matter if you’re behind the controls or strapped in for a looping acrobatic flight with a private pilot; you can be sure you’ll have plenty to look at.

Oxford’s flying excellence is demonstrated by the number of RAF bases in the area. If the airspace is good enough for the RAF, it will be more than ideal for your flying lesson.

Lessons

Our Oxford flying lessons offer the perfect introduction to the thrilling world of aircraft piloting. With plenty of opportunities for hands-on experience throughout, your flying lesson will be action-packed from the start.

Every lesson begins with a pre-briefing session, where your pilot will explain the flight and demonstrate how the basic controls work. After a plane walkaround and a tour of the cockpit, you can strap in and start taxiing out to the runway.

Once you’re airborne, you’ll have the chance to do as much or as little flying as you’d like. If you ever need a break, your pilot will take over and let you take in the breathtaking views below.

 

RAF Aerial Tour

Oxfordshire is home to many RAF bases, and they’re all a sight to behold. Our RAF Aerial Tour is the perfect way to catch a glimpse into the workings of an active airbase. On your flight, your pilot will take you out to either RAF Fairford, RAF Brize Norton, or RAF Benson.

Gliding

A gliding flight is a unique experience. A thrilling gliding descent gives you the chance to take in the beautiful Oxfordshire scenery in an almost silent environment. Our Bicester Airfield location is home to our gliders and expert pilots, who are ready to take you high into the clouds for your blissful descent.

During your experience, you’ll even get a chance to take the controls as you swoop back down to earth.

 

Aerobatic Experiences

This one is for all the daredevils out there. Strap in for an exhilarating aerobatic ride over the Oxfordshire countryside. You won’t have much time to take in the views, though, as your plane loops, barrel rolls, and soars through the sky!

And more!
