Why not organise a Friday evening of fun for friends, family or workmates at the Darlton Gliding Club (minimum 8 people flying)
Experience the thrill of a winch launch and the exhilaration of then silently gliding through the air like a bird – perhaps even with the company of a soaring bird of prey!
Look down on the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire countryside from 1000+ feet on a summer evening and spot the landmarks in adjoining counties.
Take the opportunity to fly and control the glider under the direction of a qualified British Gliding Association (BGA) instructor should you wish.
The club can provide a Group Flying Experience for prearranged parties on Friday evenings. Group flying normally starts from 6:00 pm but it is possible to start earlier.
For each member of your party the flight will consist of a winch launch followed by soaring time in the air. The winch accelerates the glider to around 60 mph in just a few seconds and it then rapidly climbs to a height of more than 1,000 feet. After releasing from the winch cable, the glider is free to fly above the local countryside.
