What Can I Expect
Get yourself in a spin when you experience aerobatics in Wolverhampton! We are offering fantastic 40-minute aerobatic flights out of this renowned general aviation airport, where a warm welcome and lots of fun is assured.
The aircraft you'll be flying in is a Slingsby T-67 Firefly. These low-wing light aircraft are known in the industry for having precise handling and being thoroughly lovely to fly at cruise speed. It's a nicely well-balanced plane that loves to surprise with some classic aerobatic moves.
If you're up for it, you'll have the chance to handle the plane yourself for a large part of the flight, so you can see how well this dual-controlled Firefly handles for yourself.
Just imagine heading up from Halfpenny Airport, cruising at altitude with far reaching views towards Wolverhampton and Stourbridge...when on your pilot instructor's word, you gracefully start to roll. Before you know it, the sky's the ground and the ground's the sky and you're in inverted flight!
We have to say, it's a pretty amazing feeling when you see the world upside down. Add to that a loop the loop, a couple of stall turns and some rolls and you'll be experiencing an air display slot's worth of aerobatic moves in the fabulous Slingsby Firefly.
If you're in the West Midlands / Birmingham area and you're up for trying some aerobatic adventures over the Wolverhampton countryside, you've totally come to the right place. Book your slot in the very cool Slingsby Firefly and get ready to go upside down!
