Take one of our exhilarating 

 Scenic Air Experience Flights

  

 

  

Soar like an eagle on silent wings!

 

 Picturesque is the only way to describe the vista of ocean, islands, farmlands and market gardens, the Glasshouse Mountains, pine plantations and various equestrian venues that are yours to see as you are introduced to soaring flight from the Caboolture Airfield.

   

 Air experience flights commence with the glider being towed to a predetermined release height by a powered tow aircraft. Once the required height is reached your qualified instructor pilot will release the glider from the tow, or turn off the engine, and the wonderful experience of silent flight commences.

   

 If you want to make the most of your introduction to gliding we will give you some basic instruction followed by hands on flying experience - naturally at a safe height above the ground.

   

 Alternatively you can leave all of the flying to your pilot who will be able to answer any questions you have about gliding in general and the Caboolture Gliding Club in particular as you enjoy both the experience and the scenery.

After being towed to your selected release height, you will soar gently over the spectacular local scenery before returning to the airfield at Caboolture. The duration of our glider flights is subject to the weather and/or cloud conditions prevailing on the day ... as a guide however, we would normally expect a 3,500 feet flight to last 25 to 30 minutes and a 4,500 feet flight around 40 to 45 minutes.
