Prepare for the ride of your life....
Upon arrival at the airfield you will be introduced to the features of the plane and receive a preflight briefing.
Getting strapped into the seat with the 5 point harness will seem like getting into a racing car!
The engine will be started and given a few minutes to reach temperature and then off you go....
A brief take off roll and a climb away from the airfield to safe aerobatic height will give you time to take in your surroundings and see local points of interest. Having got used to flying the area and getting a feel of the aircraft we should be ready to start the aerobatics ....
First up is a very easy roll which is the most gentle way to see the World from Upside Down ..... then after a few seconds and when you are ready we should try the "Loop" . here we pull the stick back - the nose rises and continues to rise until we see the Earth coming around and then its over before it started!! The loop will probably take 3 - 3.5G! Next up will be the fabulous "Stall Turn" where we enter at speed and pull up to the vertical and wait....... wait..... wait for the speed to almost dissappear of the scale then its full rudder to bring the plane vertically downwards... the Pilot is looking for a reaction here a laugh or a scream usually confirms the passenger is ok!
From here on we can do many other fun moves and can even join them up into a small sequence - be rest assured that afer each move the Pilot will ask.."Ok for next?" and will keep you fully advised of whats coming next.
"i'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here" stops the aerobatics at any time you need a breather and normally we are just a couple of minutes away from the airfield.
When we have used up our aerobatic fuel it will be time to return to the airfield for landing and debrief!
Prepare for the ride of your life....
This is a video that shows the sort of moves you can expect to do on your aerobatic experience. There is a commentary and it does give a good feel.
This is a video of the ITV National News Broadcast on 8th June 2020 whilst "Lockdown" was still in operation. This was a "feel good" story
