Travelling light…
For our final Aviator’s Spotlight Fly-In, we turn to the aircraft class that is only growing in popularity… the Microlight!
At the turn of the 1980s, following the recreational rise in hang-gliding, aspiring pilots yearned for powered flight that wouldn’t break the bank! Resultantly, the world’s aviation authorities defined the “microlight” (or “ultralight”) – a lightweight, slower-flying, one or two-seat aircraft. Today, the microlight is the fun and affordable way to tour the country from above.
For the final instalment in our Aviator’s Spotlight fly-in series, any visiting microlights (less than 600kg max take-off weight) are treated to a free landing fee, in celebration of this simplified and stylish way to fly. PPR as normal, on 01747 811767.
For those coming by road, be advised that this Fly-In is weather dependent. There is no booking required or parking charge in operation. All updates will be made to the website.
