Overview
Why buy from us?
Learn how to fly whilst being treated to stunning views of the Oxfordshire countryside in this 30 minute session departing from Abingdon. Alongside an experienced instructor, you’ll be shown how to use the controls before getting the chance to fly the plane yourself. You will be in a CT microlight aeroplane which are often used for beginners because they are light but not without power - this nifty beast boasts speeds of 170mph and can really pack a punch through the skies if needed. As you get comfortable and ease yourself into the flight and gain confidence with the controls, you’ll be able to enjoy stunning views over Oxford. Included in this flight path are incredible views of Uffington White Horse which is a prehistoric hill figure etched into the landscape. You can see this on foot whilst hiking in the area, but it is at its most impressive from the air as you can take in the scale and prowess of the figure against the hills. A stone’s throw from this is Dragon Hill, a natural chalk hill with an artificially flattened top. Legends surround this place and have associated it with being the location where Saint George slew the dragon. Both of these landscapes come alive from the air, and this experience will give you spectacular views combined with an opportunity to increase your confidence in the skies.

Stephen Reeves
Very friendly and efficient service from the flight centre. Good, clear instructions in advance of the event from Rachel and warmly welcomed on arrival. A memorable and really enjoyable flight. I felt entirely comfortable with Hal’s confident flying and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to take the controls. I would definitely recommend this event.
Anton Williams
Fantastic experience. The team at V1 were excellent. Flew over my house and really felt I hands on for a good portion of the flight.
Rob
Very much enjoyed the experience, as the wings are above the cockpit the plane had all round visibility, it seemed effortless to sour from from cloud to cloud the scenery was stunning and Hal the pilot allowed me to take the controls and to fly the aircraft, which was so much easier then a Piper PA28 Warrior i had flown previously. My time in the air just seemed to disappear and it was time to land expertly by Hal on a grass field. I would definitely do this experience again.
Sarah
I booked a flight experience and could not have asked for anything better - he went beyond our expectations. The instructions he provided to find the place were very clear and his enthusiasm and passion for what he does was so infectious. He took the time to explain different things, and made sure the experience truly was personalised according to what we wanted. I bought the gift for my boyfriend and Hal was kind enough to let me jump in the plane for a quick 5 mins at the end so I could experience it too. An absolute pleasure and would definitely recommend booking with Hal.
Thomas Rosendahl
A truly amazing experience that was both exciting and relaxing. Hal is very friendly and professional and willing to share his knowledge. Some stunning scenery in the area. I had the opportunity to fly the aircraft myself and got bitten by the bug. Thanks for making my day!
Kyle Birtwell
Hal is a really nice guy, very friendly and clearly enjoys what he does. The flight was amazing and he let me take control of the plane for quite a while and go see places that I was interested in. He knows the area well and flew over some spots which he thought would be of interest to me to make it a more personal flight. Couldn't recommend this enough!!
Ray Dixon
Very enjoyable experience and it was great to be allowed to fly the aircraft myself. Hal is a relaxed pilot and I felt very safe with him in charge. I can highly recommend this experience.
Jason Thomas
Amazing experience!! Hal was a great instructor and answered all the questions we had. Made it a really fun and relaxed time. He even let my wife have a go for the last 10mins of my session. Would definitely recommend!

Hal was brilliant, so friendly and instantly made us feel at ease especially when it was our turn to fly the plane! This experience was a 1st wedding anniversary gift and was such a memorable one. Thank you.

This flying lesson experience was absolutely remarkable. It was something I won't forget. Hal was so friendly and funny. He introduced me to the controls and allowed me to take them several times. I was delighted by seeing the landscapes and marvellous cities from the sky.
