Have you ever wanted to learn how to fly? Then why not pop along to Popham Airfield and take on your first Trial Flying Lesson in an Ikarus C42 - a modern and light sporty aircraft! Fitted with the necessary basics, these planes are perfect for those who have never flown before, and who want to get the hang of flying. Although these are classed as 'light' aircraft they are far from it. They only need 200m to take off and can touch down to land in under 300m, making them pretty powerful when they want to be. What's more, they can cruise at 100mph through the skies - so rest assured - although pitched as the perfect beginner plane, they can certainly still pack a punch. Situated at a friendly airfield near Basingstoke in Hampshire, it's within an easy travel distance from Reading and London and lessons are hosted by friendly and enthusiastic instructors passionate about getting beginners confident in the skies. So what are you waiting for? Get your first lesson under your belt and secure your spot today.
