Even first class can't compare with the pilot's seat on an Experience Gift There's something about flying that keeps people coming back for more. Everyone from model airplane enthusiasts to pilots to skydivers has felt the pull. Maybe it's the rush of feeling the wheels lift off the runway, leaving behind the life you knew on the ground, or the serenity of gliding over the world spread out below like a Lego set. Perhaps it's the exhilaration of executing a perfect landing, or the sense of power that comes with knowing that you can keep a 7,000 pound piece of metal in the air, but once people have their first flight experience, they almost always come back for more. Are you ready for your Flight Experience?A Flight Experience gift is an opportunity to join the long tradition of aviation addicts. With no previous piloting experience necessary, and Civil Aviation Authority licensed instructors, anyone can safely enjoy the experience of taking the pilot’s seat, and feel the power of having 1000 horsepower at their fingertips. "I've never known an industry that can get into people's blood the way aviation does," says Robert Six, founder of Continental Airlines. People have always been fascinated with the idea of flying, from Leonardo da Vinci to the Wright brothers to Lindbergh, perhaps because it’s something so completely different from our everyday life, an ultimate challenge of man to nature—once you’ve taken the throttle there’s no turning back. With a wide variety of flight experience gifts, from pleasure tours over London to flights in historic aircraft, Flight Experience lets everyone join in the fun and history of flight. Aviation history buffs know that the introduction of the airplane to war in World War I revolutionised warfare, and resulted in some of the most vicious and dangerous dogfights ever fought. With Flight Experience, you can join the ranks of the Red Baron in a classic World War I biplane, or live a part of history by taking a lesson in a Tiger Moth, a primary training plane for RAF pilots in the 1930’s and 40’s. It could be your first training plane too—if you decide to go for your pilot’s license after your Flight Experience, your lesson in the Tiger Moth counts as flight time towards your private pilot’s license. But perhaps the most alluring thing about flying is the sheer fun of it. Aerobatic planes fascinate with intricate barrel rolls and people put their nerves to the ultimate test micro-lighting, flying in a mix of plane and glider. On the more relaxed side of flying, hot air balloons, gliders and pleasure flight tours let you see the world from a whole new perspective—who else do you know who can say they’ve seen Buckingham Palace or the London Eye from above? If you think you’ve got the stomach for acrobatic flight, Flight Experience can oblige with an advanced aerobatic flight, or perhaps try gliding to experience the thrill of powerless flight. If sightseeing is more your line, nothing can compare to hot air ballooning over the countryside, or taking a helicopter tour over London. Whether you go in for history or aerobatics, sightseeing or gliding, no matter which experience you choose, as anyone who’s had a Flight Experience knows, even first class can’t compare to the pilot’s seat.
