We brought my 15 yr old son the first drive experience for his birthday. He had a great day and his instructor Dave was very friendly and had a great sense of humour which made the boys in his group at ease. As we watched it made us smile as the 3 boys had big grins on their faces!!
My only very small complaint is that we left Oxford at 6.30am and we were looking forward to breakfast but nothing was open at Rockingham racing circuit. But that never stopped a great day - THANKYOU

Helicopter Flying Lesson 30 mins (Premium)
Learn to fly a helicopter during this half hour trial flight lesson. As well as enjoying the experience of controlling a helicopter, this premium pack also includes Cancellation Indemnity insurance and Pilot Notes.
Have you ever watched someone on the television or in a movie flying a helicopter and wondered what it would feel like to take the controls yourself? If the answer to this question is yes, then this flying experience is the answer to your dreams.
Enjoy a 30 minute helicopter flying lesson and live out your fantasies flying one of these amazing machines. You will require absolutely no flying experience to enjoy this package, as you will be accompanied by an instructor at all times.
Your instructor will take you up in the Robinson 22 training helicopter, a fantastic dual control machine that is used to train real pilots. You will be able to look in awe at the amazing scenery as you cruise at 1,500 feet during your flight. At various points throughout the lesson the instructor will pass you the controls to give you a chance at flying the helicopter at altitude before returning to the airfield for some low level exercises, such as hovering and turning just 30 feet from the ground.
Before you are able to take to the skies, a full safety briefing will be given to familiarise you with the controls and ensure you are completely safe and comfortable during your 30 minute helicopter flight.

"Totally worth it!"
As my title says, it was totally worth the money! You could even say the experience was priceless as it was that special.
I've always wanted to try flying and when I saw you could take control of a helicopter I went straight ahead and booked it. Having the assurance of cancellation insurance was great, although I was pretty adamant I'd be doing it, you never know what might happen.
I loved every minute of it and I am dying to do it again or maybe try a light aircraft next time.
Definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone.
