25 Minute Stearman Flying Lesson

This is a rare opportunity to reach for the sky in this vintage US biplane and soar away into the wide blue yonder. The Boeing-Stearman is a biplane which served as a primary trainer for the USAAF during the second world war. It's very similar in comparison to a Tiger Moth and even though they were built in the 1930's and 40's a considerable number are still being used around the world today.

Your 25 minute flying lesson begins with a pre-flight briefing with your instructor. Pease note at the Cheltenham, Gloucester location your flight will last 20 minutes. You will learn the effects of an aircraft's controls and what you will be doing during your first trial flying lesson. Then it's time to walk out to the aircraft where you will be taken on a 'walk round' to see the main control surfaces of the aircraft. Your instructor will take off and then demonstrate some basic manoeuvres and, if the weather is good, the pilot will be able to do some aerobatics and a low fly-by for photos. Then it's your turn! Feel the aircraft respond to your lightest touch and experience for yourself the sheer exhilaration of flying.
