Whether you use an aeroplane to expand the amount of territory you can cover in your business, or take your family on a vacation that otherwise would be impossible, flying is certainly practical. Add to this the fact that learning to fly and using the skill are both interesting and enjoyable, and you will begin to understand why becoming a pilot makes such good sense.

My husband had a 1hour flying lesson today at this flying school. He thoroughly enjoyed it, the instructor was very good. He explained everything to my husband and this made it a lot easier for my husband to take the controls. He said he certainly learnt alot today and really appreciated the help and guidance from the instructor. Many thanks

Wow what a day I had today. I have had a love for flying for many years and never had the chance to be able to take it up. My wife and daughter bought me a flight lesson for my 50th birthday. Alan the instructor was brilliant he allowed my daughter to fly with us he took the plane into the air and let me take over the controls while in the air until he landed the plane. I would highly recommend this experience if like me you have wanted to do this it's a great experience. All the staff are friendly instructors are very professional thank you Alan for an amazing flight.

If you're looking to take flying lessons or simply interested in aircraft and flying in general then I wholeheartedly recommend South Warwickshire School of Flying at Wellesbourne. The shool has a relaxed and friendly feel to the environment and provides great opportunities for young aspiring pilots. A big thank you to Rodney and everyone at SWFS.
