Aerobatic Flying Experience Days: Ever dreamed of becoming a pilot? In this thrilling aircraft experience, your pilot will fly over the Severn Ralley Railway, from Worcestershire to Shropshire, and then give you the option of flying yourself! Alongside a qualified instructor, hop on a 2-seater aircraft and take to the skies in this magnificent 45-minute adventure. Gain first hand experience into the world of becoming a pilot!

Initially, your friendly pilot will cover the extensive pre-flight briefing. After all safety precautions have been taken, strap in and get ready- your instructor will take you both into the skies! At first, the aircraft will be flown by your pilot. Once you're comfortable, they will hand over to you and you will take control of the aircraft alongside your instructor's supervision to ensure everything's running smoothly. However, this is optional! Not to worry. If preferred, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the stunning scenery provided by this experience as your pilot takes over the wheel. It is truly up to you- whether you're an experienced pilot or a beginner, all are welcome to try and enjoy this incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience. Feel the adrenaline rush as you take off, before easing up and taking in the marvellous views Worcestershire and Shropshire has to offer, as you fly over the historic train's 16-mile line. Through this flying experience, you will feel a rush and sense of freedom like never before. You will even get the opportunity to take in a real pilots feedback- after you have descended, your instructor will provide feedback on how you did and suggest recommendations for future flights. 

This experience can be enjoyed by family and friends, no matter their age or flying ability.  It is a truly perfect and unique gift for train-lovers and aircraft enthusiasts alike. Conquer the skies and bring your dreams of becoming a pilot to life!
