If you are looking for an immersive experience viewing the best county in the UK, then go and fly from here.Paul, my pilot, was warm, friendly, informative and very knowledgable about the area.His piloting skills were first class, an absolute professional through and through. Ask to fly past Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh castles.I am a local but still they never fail to wow your eyes! All the aircraft are first rate, well maintained and its apparent stepping through the door you made an excellent choice coming here. Paul, once again, thank you so much!You made my birthday flight one I'll never forget!!

I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to be a passenger in a Fixed wing microlight on 2 occasions. The views were spectacular & the pilot had a vast knowledge of, not only the geography of the area, but the history too. I may have felt nervous prior to going up but felt completely relaxed & extremely safe in the knowledge that there was an expert at the controls. This is an experience not to be missed.

I can’t thank Ed enough for the wonderful flying experience over the Northumberland hills and coast. It was my first time seeing Northumberland from the air and it was breathtaking. I was initially a little unsure about the take off and landing but they were smooth and Ed but me at ease straight away with his experience and calm friendly nature. Thank you Ed and team at Atheys!

Entresse

The whole experience from start to finish was brilliant. My partner and I booked an hour experience to end a beautiful weekend in Northumberland. From the minute we arrived at the warm clubhouse to the minute we touched down, Ed the instructor made sure we felt at home and having a great time. If you don't have a head for heights, you can watch your loved ones fly from the balcony with a cuppa in hand.
