Prepare for lift-off with this anytime space flight experience! Climb aboard a Slingsby T67 Firefly at Goodwood Aerodrome and feel the incredible G-forces usually reserved for astronauts during launch. After meeting your instructor and getting a full briefing, you will suit up in a military-style flight suit - your first hint that this is no ordinary flying experience. This flight is all about pushing boundaries, and the T67 certainly delivers. For context, a Boeing 737 take-off gives you around 0.4G… here you will be hitting up to 3G just on take-off. Once you’re in the air, prepare for a series of high-energy manoeuvres that showcase both positive and negative G-forces. One moment you might feel completely weightless, the next you will feel more than four times heavier than normal. It’s fast, intense and designed to thrill. And if you are up for it, your pilot can hand the controls over to you - letting you initiate those G-force-packed climbs, dives and turns yourself. This is an unforgettable, astronaut-style adventure available any day of the week - weekdays and weekends. Strap in and get ready to push the limits.
