Sight seeing Warwickshire Worcestershire Oxfordshire
Bruce was excellent both in keeping us informed of any weather updates or issues before the flight, and in putting my 13 year old son at ease on the day. Both he and the flying club staff were friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of taking a sightseeing flight.

Great experience. First time flying for both my boys and our pilot, Bruce, was amazing, really helped reduce their anxiety before the flight. Through out the whole experience Bruce pointed out places, buildings, rivers, roads... really helped put context to some incredible views.
