Take a visit to the historic Sywell Aerodrome in the heart of Northamptonshire and get yourself zipping through the skies with a 60 Minute Microlight Flying Lesson. This open cockpit Quik GT 450 is one of the most popular microlights to learn in because of how reliable and easy it is to control for beginners - and alongside an expert instructor offering you help and guidance along the way, you're bound to feel confident in the skies in no time. From the moment you arrive here, you'll feel at ease as one of the instructors takes you through a welcome and pre flight briefing, including safety proceedings. Before you leave the ground, you'll have an understanding of all the basic controls so that you're ready in the sky. There's nothing like taking a flight from an airfield filled with so much history - and this one dates back to 1928! - as well as enjoying incredible views out across the countryside. Once you're lesson has ended you're bound to leave with the flying bug and want to book more lessons, but the fun doesn't end here! With you feet back on the ground, you can make use of the great on site facilities such as the club house and restaurant.
