Fly to Shobdon for lunch and return
What a fantastic experience! I booked this for my Dads 50th birthday and we had the most amazing and memorable day. Bruce was a fantastic pilot, making us feel at ease throughout the entire experience and was just a lovely person all round to accompany us on this day. Me and my dad are already discussing doing another experience day like this again with Bruce!
