About the experience
To be a successful modern fighter pilot you have to be able to roll, turn and climb in the skies at hard speeds at short notice and react to what you see ahead of you in record time. There’s a lot to be admired about this style of flying, but a lot to be mastered. Fighter pilots train for years to be able to achieve this type of precision, but luckily for you, you can get a taste of that with this fighter pilot lesson. If you’ve ever wondered how these planes are flown and want to learn the various skills to manoeuvre through the skies, you’re in the right place. Training directly alongside a fighter pilot, you will go on a unique flying adventure in a nifty T67 Firefly aircraft. After mastering the basic moves such as turns, climbs and descents you will then get a chance to try some aerobatics which are at the heart of the fighter pilot repertoire. Your pilot will guide you through various rolls, loops and turns and you’ll soon be feeling like a fighter pilot in no time. One of the best things about this is experience is just how much you are in close proximity to a fighter pilot as not only will their skills inevitably brush off on you, but their love for flying and showing flyers just how much you can do in the air. Whether you’re rolling 270 degrees or making a steep vertical climb, this is guaranteed to be a thrilling experience all round and a real insight to what modern fighter pilots do daily.
