Firefly Experience Essex

Near Epping

Our Essex venue boasts a top of the range T67M260 Slingsby Firefly, eager to take you up into the big blue sky to pull some big aerobatic manoeuvres..the only question is, are you ready?!

It might look like quite a modest little two seater, but these military training planes are armed with a 260hp engine, making them easily capable of performing amazing aerobatic manoeuvres. Of course, the Firefly isn't the only plane capable of executing tricks in the air - we've got loads of high performance aerobatic flights.

A fully qualified aerobatic instructor will take you on your flight to remember and if all goes well, you'll be doing some loops, rolls, vertical climbs and much more!

The Slingsby Firefly in Essex has side by side seating configuration, can touch g limits +6g and -3g and has a max level speed of 172 mph with 260bhp.

Experience summary: The aerobatic flights last approximately 20 minutes, chock to chock and you should allow spending an hour at the venue.
