Fantastic 30 min flight around Launceston.

Craig 22 January 2025

The friendly instructor was great. From the initial briefing to the completion of the flight the experience was fun, relaxed, informative and just the right amount of a challenge! I was able to take the controls for the majority of the flight (take off, level flight and landing) under the expert and relaxed instructions from the instructor. I was excited before the flight but it was so much more fun than I was expecting. The views of Launceston from the relatively low level flight were unique and awesome. 5 stars!
