Guest Garfy Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Weather permiting I'll be having a trial flying lesson at about 10:00 this morning, I'll be taking off at Shoreham airport then flying over to the isle of white, landing there, stop for a coffee then fly back to shoreham. So, if you dont hear from me again, it didn't go well!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Enjoy. Its very addictive. btw: Don't whistle to yourself the dambusters theme while making machine gun sound effects "attack" attack" attack". Flying instructors dont like it I've had a few lessons myself at bournemouth airport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Have fun! I have flown helicopters out of Shoreham and its a good site. The view of the College is cool from the air Don't hit H900 (the police helicopter)..... it cost £5million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nigel f Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Shame it is postponed. Flying is great, you need to have a go in a helicopter, they are a lot of fun Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I had a flying lesson at Shoreham Airport for my 29th birthday, as a surprise from my dad (R.I.P.). It was a fantastic experience. I had to take off, climb, turn, cruise (fly over my flat on Preston Park and Brighton), then back again to land. I wished I'd carried on, but at approx. £7,000 to do all the lessons, it was a little out of my reach at the time. You'll love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
