Love is in the Air

experience days — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:02:44 +0000

What better way for two people to enjoy a trip to the beautiful Cotswolds than to see it from the sky? This is an amazing opportunity for a couple to take to the skies in two aircraft, with an experienced ex Red Arrow or military instructor each, and delight in seeing not just the glorious countryside, but also your partner in an aeroplane just a few feet away. Watch each other as you take your turns on the flying controls (at a safe distance, of course) and pilot the aeroplane around the sky. You'll even be able to speak to each other – and maybe ask an important question? Back on the ground you will receive a bottle of bubbly and a certificate to help remember this romantic experience forever.
