Have you ever wanted to fly a plane? Tick this bucket list activity off with VICTA this May!

Young people aged 14 to 17 and one parent are invited to Aerobility at Blackbushe Airport in Surrey for a unique opportunity to take charge and experience flying a plane.

While you aren’t in the air, you can have a go in the flight simulator – which used to be a plane, so the cockpit is just like the real thing. You can also explore the airport and the hangar to see what you can find.

Please note: Parents will not get to fly the plane, however you can accompany your child on board. Lunch is not included, there is a café onsite, next to the runway where you can purchase your own food. This activity is weather dependent, if we are unable to fly on the original date, the backup date is Tuesday 4 August.
