Come join us for an unforgettable microlight flight over the stunning countryside and coast just 20 miles from Edinburgh! Led by Chief Flying Instructor, Gordon Douglas, our team at East Fortune Airfield guarantees a warm Scottish welcome. With Douglas's expertise dating back to 1980, ours is Scotland's longest established microlight club, starting its journey in 1989.
Start your adventure with a friendly hello at the clubhouse, then meet your instructor and head to the hangar to meet your microlight. Picture it like a trike attached to a hang glider, with an open cockpit letting you soak in that fresh Scottish air. As you soar above East Fortune's patchwork fields, everything seems to slow down, even though you're moving at a fair clip. It's a peaceful, surreal experience.
During your flight, you can either sit back and enjoy the views or actively participate by taking the controls yourself. Don't miss out on this chance to soar the Scottish skies! Book your spot today.
