Take off over Silverstone and see the Formula 1 racing track, the Porsche Driving Centre, the Rockingham Oval, WW2 bomber sites, Cold War nuclear bases, Test Centres, and various Missile Bases, all from a totally unique aerial viewpoint that will take your breath away.Your experience will start at the flying club where you’ll meet and greet your instructor, and be shown across the airfield to where the Gyrocopter waits. After a safety briefing and demonstration of the controls, the instructor will help you devise a route plan based on the landmarks and/or areas you’d like to cover, making the trip more personal to you. Have a particular building or railroad you’d like to see from the air? You need only ask! Planning done, you’ll get changed into your flying gear (which is provided) and put on your helmet ready for take-off. The pilot will show you the points-of-interest below as you cruise alongside the birds for a full sixty minutes, plenty of time to appreciate the fascinating contraption you’re seated in and the incredible surroundings.The 60 Minute Gyrocopter Experience makes the perfect gift for James Bond lovers, those who want to experience a unique flight experience, or simply for those who love new and exciting adventures. This could even be the start of a journey towards becoming a qualified pilot!…
