The ultimate gift
Ever glanced into the cockpit of the holiday jet and wondered what it would be like to fly it?
Now you (virtually) can!
Just imagine.... the thrill of take off.
Race down the runway in 70 tonnes of aircraft, leave the ground behind and fly to any world airport. Flaps down, descend and land. Wow!
Buy a voucher to fly and then the recipient books a slot to suit themselves.
Vouchers will be sent via email automatically. Please bear this in mind if you are buying as surprise gift. If an alternative email address is not possible to use then please call to let us know so we can post the voucher to you.
They will be met by our Training Captain, who will greet, offer coffee and refreshments and move on to the briefing room. There the trainee pilot will be taught the basics of flying our modern Boeing 737-800. Then its time to go to the cockpit and take the captain's seat.
The flight will start on the airport 'stand', where the trainee will start the engines, taxi to the runway, advance the thrust levers and accelerate to take off speed.
Then its time to raise the landing gear, adjust flaps and try some turns. Air traffic control will advise your course to the landing airport. Line up, adjust power, lower landing gear and flaps, land the 70 tonne beast!
The instructor would normally sit in the first officers seat, but if the trainee is accompanied by a friend or family, they can sit there and assist with landing gear with the Training Captain overseeing procedures.
Remember, if you are on holiday in Devon and fancy a flight, why not ring us or pop in and we'll see if we can fit you into our schedule.
