Description

Take to the skies with Easy Jet Captain and Aerobility Instructor Chris Wade for a flight in his classic Slingsby T67 Firefly. Chris is a certified Aerobatics instructor, so if you fancy pulling some "G's" then this is the perfect auction lot for you.

Take-off from Blackbushe Airport for a thirty minutes airborne flight to see Surrey & Berkshire from upside down. There will be plenty of hands-on time available and the flight will be captured on video for posterity. 
Start with some gentle rolls, building to looping manoeuvres, then (for those with a strong constitution) finish with flick rolls and spins. The flight can be tailored to the wishes and experience of the participant, who can be hoisted if required but will need to weigh no more than 100kg and have reasonable upper-body stability and be max 6ft4 tall.

Please note that this flight will be operated as a 'charity flight' and is subject to the following guidance CAP1330: Charity Flight Guidance (caa.co.uk)

A big thank you to Chris for his continued incredible support and generosity.
