| 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. |
| Gift vouchers are available and are valid for a period of six months. |
Please note that the maximum passenger weight allowable is 110kg. |
| The Deluxe Flight: |
| You will fly to 3,500 feet and soar gently over the spectacular local scenery before returning to the airfield at Caboolture. Flight duration will be about 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the weather conditions. |
| The price for the Deluxe Flight is $195. |
| Subject to weather/cloud conditions, we offer an "on the day" option to extend the Deluxe Flight to a 4,500 release height. Flight duration would then be 40 to 45 minutes, depending on the weather conditions. |
| The additional price for this option is $50. |
| The Standard Flight: |
| The release height will be 2,500 feet and the flight duration will be about 15 minutes depending on the weather conditions. |
| The price for the Standard Flight is $170. |
