Extended Fixed Wing Microlight Flying in Lancashire

There's nothing quite like flying in a nimble, agile microlight, and the fixed-wing Thruster T600N is a fantastic craft to fly or be flown in. Begin with a pre-flight briefing from experienced and friendly staff before getting comfortable in the closed two-seater cockpit, side by side with a seasoned pilot. Then it's time for hearts to start racing as the pilot takes the microlight high up in the sky, affording the passenger fabulous views over the rolling countryside of Lancashire. Responsive, quick and smooth, this plane is a joy to fly - and passengers will even get the chance, as the pilot will hand over the controls for a short while and let them take control.
