Hi Guys,

I need to book a trial flight for someone tomorrow, I know it's short notice etc etc.

It will be their first flight, so a trial one. Would anyone be kind to recommend any schools in Manchester. I know Barton Aerodrome itelf has some 4 and I think there are some around Man Airport too?

Many Thanks :cool:

Weather permitting - Flight academy (or others) at Blackpool, bit further to drive but weather at Blackpool can often be better than inland.

If its a trial flight your mate will be made up to be in the air it wont make much difference what he will be flying in , besides they all look pretty much the same from the inside . Nb as already said unless he can get a back seat in an IFR flight somewhere i doubt he'll be flying tmrw

LAC flying school at Barton has the widest choice of aircraft types.
