Overview
Take to the skies above Kent with an unforgettable 30-minute microlight flight from Rochester Airport. Situated between the River Medway and Chatham, this historic airfield offers spectacular views across the North Kent countryside and coastline, making it the perfect place to experience the thrill of flight. Microlights require much less runway than traditional light aircraft, making Rochester's grass airstrips ideal for take-off and landing. The airport also benefits from operating in uncontrolled airspace, meaning you will spend less time waiting and more time enjoying your flight. Steeped in aviation history, Rochester Airport first opened in 1933 when the Short Brothers used the site to test-fly the aircraft they built, adding an extra sense of heritage to your experience. You will fly in an Ikarus C42 fixed-wing microlight, a modern aircraft with a fully enclosed cockpit that offers the look and feel of a conventional aeroplane. Seated alongside a qualified instructor, you'll enjoy a hands-on introduction to microlight flying. Your experience begins with a pre-flight briefing, where you will learn about the aircraft and its basic controls before heading out for your 30-minute flight, taking in the stunning scenery from high above the Kent countryside.

Elaine
Had an amazing afternoon. A very different experience to being in a plane. Fantastic way to view the Kent countryside and estuary at the Isle of Sheppey looking towards Whitstable and Herne Bay. Would highly recommend a microlight flight
Steve
I had such a magical time. Easy to redeem the voucher clear instructions on the day. Super warm welcome by our guide and really accommodating to my family come to watch on the day. Pilot was very knowledgeable and informative, and walked through the pre flight checks and what was required. The headset was great understanding all the communication to and from the Traffic Control. Fabulous flight out to towards the Thames Estuary, Isle of Sheppey, Sittingbourne and return. Marvellous experience Thanks Jason and Team.
Tracey Harris

Shirley Wyatt
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Easy too book, even easier to redeem the voucher, venue was welcoming, just an all round wonderful experience and would definitely recommend.
julie
very enjoyable experience, but you need to be fairly supple and not have a neck or back problem if you sit in the back
julie
the pilot was very friendly and helpful loved every minute . but if you need to sit in the back of a flexi wing plane you need to be a bit flexible your self not good for a person with neck, knee or back issues.
Simon Wolf
Arrived for my Microlight flight on a windy day. Unfortunately, as warned earlier on the phone, it was much too windy to take the flexible wing Micro up. Because we had a hotel booked to spend a weekend in the area we had decided to go anyway and had to make do with the fixed wing Microlight which was great fun anyway The people running the centre were friendly and facilities basic but good. Must go back sometime and do the Flexiwing flight.
David Peters
Fanastic to actually fly in an actual microlight and not one that was just like a light plane.Very very enjoyable.
Maureen Thone
I bought my son a microlight experience for his 21st birthday and the day of his flight we all headed to the airfield with him. All the way there I was a little nervous and I think he was too as it was completely new, something hed never done before and a bit scary. When I saw the microlight I wondered what Id let him my baby in for, going several hundred feet up in the air in a bath tub with wings I neednt have worried though because he loved every single minute of it. He was allowed to take the controls and told us about how the instructor had switched off the engine for a while so they could glide. It was a truly memorable experience. Well worth every penny.
