Flying lessons experience from £109.00

Thanks to Wish, flying lessons are no longer the reserve of the rich and famous. Be Bruce Dickinson for a day (or that bloke out of Blur) as you take the controls of a light aircraft or a glider, or test your nerve as you loop the loop in an aerobatic plane. If you’re up for a challenge, learn to pilot a helicopter and limbo low with the hover challenge. Fully qualified instructors oversee all lessons, and the experiences take place at more than 40 locations nationwide. Disabled pilots are welcome to take on our stunt plane challenge.

Microlights experience from £149.00

  • Microlight Flight

    The closest thing to being a bird without having to poop on car windscreens. Try this Microlight Flight adventure.
    £149.00
Enjoy a more serene and peaceful flying lesson with a microlight day out from Wish. You’ll fly with a qualified instructor, and if the expert feels you’re up to the task, you’ll be able to take the controls and pilot it yourself. Microlight flights from Wish are available for anyone aged 14 or over, so now’s the time to get in a bit of practice before Dad buys you that plane you’ve been banging on about. You can take off from a whole range of locations including Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Wiltshire, East Lothian and County Armagh in Northern Ireland.

Gliding experience from £99.00

Gliding surely has to be the most serene, awe-inspiring flying experience available at Wish. Here’s your chance to pilot a glider with a single flight or a four-lesson course over half a day. After being towed to 2,000 feet, you’ll be free to swoop and soar to the ground under the supervision of an expert instructor. Each glider has dual controls, but you don’t have to fly if you prefer to leave the hard work to the pro tutor. Take off from a range of UK locations including Warwickshire, Essex, Norfolk, Brecon and Devon. Additional lessons are discounted too.

Tiger Moth experience from £149.00

Fans of classic aviation will love our Tiger Moth flying experiences. You’ll be kitted out in 1930s flying gear before piloting one of these iconic wartime bi-planes, or its cousin, the Stampe SV 4. All the aircraft are fitted with dual controls, and you’ll be supervised closely by a ‘plane nerd’ (expert instructor) at all times. There’s no minimum age for many of our Tiger Moth flight experiences - just a minimum height requirement - so young lanky-legs over there may be in luck. Locations are available all over the UK and you can opt to ride as a passenger if you prefer.

Aerobatic flights experience from £199.00

Do you have what it takes to pilot a stunt plane? Our aerobatic flying lesson is a unique experience that will take you upside down and round and round (but hopefully not inside out!). Learn some tricks from your professional instructor before taking control of the stunt plane yourself – if you want to. Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy. No previous experience of flying is necessary for this exhilarating aerobatic challenge, and there are plenty of convenient venues around the country too. Bring spectators to take photos of your unforgettable moves. You just need to be brave, and/or foolish.
