Why not take to the air with one of the airport’s fixed wing and rotary flying schools?

“Nobody who has not been up in the sky on a glorious morning can possibly imagine the way a pilot feels in free heaven.”

So said William T Piper, founder of the Piper Aircraft Corporation, became known as the ‘Henry Ford of aviation’, such as his contribution to general aviation manufacturing and to making flight available to the wider population.

Have you ever wanted to step out of the simulator and experience the thrill of piloting a real plane?

There are several companies based at Blackpool, offering a variety of courses for both fixed wing and helicopters at very reasonable rates, or you can take a pleasure flight in a smaller aircraft for a bird’s eye view of the local area.
