Description

Departing Sandtoft we'll head out to the west towards the picturesque Howden, Derwent and Ladybower reservoirs. After plenty of photo opportunities, we'll fly south through the Hope valley, past Hathersage and along the river Derwent all the way to Chatsworth House. The exact route is flexible and I'm happy to accommodate diversions, for example to fly over a nearby hometown or local landmark.

1 hour sightseeing from Doncaster Sheffield Airport

I had my flight with Sean on Saturday 25/6/22, it was my first ever flight at the age of 66. Sean very professional and struck the right tone to keep me calm, he was very informative and I enjoyed the flight so much. The emotions I felt for that hour would take far to long to write down, Sean was a very good pilot and I wish him all the best for his future endeavors. But the way you conducted you're self Sean I think your future is a very bright one many thanks
