    What a fantastic experience! It can't be described, you have to experience it. Flying in itself is extraordinary, but the instructors are also incredible and you feel perfectly safe. Tip: Go in advance. The car park is a bit small and can fill up quite easily, especially in summer with people going to the beach. Also, there is a walk from there to the take-off site, about six or seven minutes.
