Get to know this little airfield in the heart of the Suffolk coast with a 30 Minute Helicopter Flying lesson from Beccles Aerodrome. Full to the brim with rich history - Beccles opened in 1944 and was used as a USAF base and was home to the RAF coastal command. Today it's proud of its history but is known as a modern flying centre with friendly instructors specialising in helicopter flying. The school here has been doing helicopter lessons since 2010 and they have an impressive fleet on sight including 2-seater R22'S and 4-seater R44's ass well as Cabri G2's and an array of microlights. As soon as you've received your introduction and had an overview of the controls, you'll be ready to fly in no time! In this lesson, you'll explore the Suffolk coastline near Lowestoft and hover above the gorgeous countryside fields all the while learning to fly a 2-seater alongside an instructor. For the chance to see the best sights of East Anglia and get some flying experience under your belt, you won't want to miss out on this lesson! What's more, rumour has it their cooked English breakfast at The Club Virage café bar is meant to be legendary. After all, there's no better way to celebrate a successful flight than with a slap up fried breakfast.
