Seighford Air Field, Seighford, Stafford, Staffordshire

Gliding is the most beautiful and absorbing way of flying. Even a first short flight can be a memorable experience, and gliding's challenges and delights continue to enthral the most experienced pilots. While most flights are made within safe reach of the home field, it is possible to soar higher than the Alps for many miles across country, using only the hidden energy in the air and hardly noticed from the ground. Your first flight may seem remarkable, but your first solo or cross country will be every bit as exciting and very much more rewarding. These will be real achievements, gained by applying new skills and knowledge. Although gliding is very much concerned with personal achievement it is far from a solitary sport as each pilot is very dependant on other enthusiasts. You will be expected to help other just as they help you through activities such as running the field, driving the winch, launching gliders and maintaining equipment.
Sleighford in Stafford offers you these facilities with a personal touch all in the heart of staffordshire.
