Turn your world upside down when you perform aerobatics in Peterborough aboard a Cessna! Aerobatic Flights operate out of Sibson Airport, making this experience ideal for those in the Peterborough and Cambridgeshire areas.
It's probably your first time flying in an aerobatic plane. And it may even be your first flight in a small aircraft. If so, you're in for an amazing time at Sibson. You get to experience what it's like 'up front' (so much different to being a passenger on an airliner) and what happens when you start to make the Cessna do extraordinary things, sending you literally into a spin up there in the skies above Peterborough.
Yep, we're talking aerial stunts! The CAA describes aerobatics as 'being able to control the aircraft whilst precisely drawing a defined manoeuvre in the sky'. That sounds like waxing lyrical to us, so we'll just say that here in Peterborough you'll be seeing the ground spin, you'll be hanging (albeit briefly) upside down from your harness and plunging towards the ground before pulling up again! In essence, this is a roller coaster ride in the air.
And the plane to do all this? The Cessna Aerobat. A humble, low-key, yet very agile little aircraft, the Aerobat might look like your usual high-wing light aircraft, but this is the sport version, meaning inverted flight is child's play to this aeroplane. What's more, it's dual-controlled, so if you're willing you can take over the controls and have a go at flying this lively aerobatics plane.
This aerobatics experience at Peterborough's Sibson Airfield gives you a half hour flight in the Cessna Aerobat. Get ready to watch those RPMs, keep a good height and maintain a look out at all times and you're on the way to getting aerobatic flying sorted!
