Coming soon - 2nd BDFA Flying Day for people with learning disabilities

On
Thursday 9th August the BDFA is holding a flying day
at Elstree for people with learning disabilities.
This is the second year running and last year it
worked out beautifully with over 50 people taking to
the skies. This event, in conjunction with the
Guideposts
Trust,
is one of the ways money raised by the BDFA is
used. The event seriously pushes the boundaries of
what can be done in aviation, and gives these
people a real taste of the freedom that flying
offers. We are offering - as last year – a 20
minute flight experience in the co- pilots’ seat,
an opportunity to briefly take the controls, with
a barbecue lunch afterwards. We have found that
this kind of experience can be life changing as it
dramatically builds confidence and self esteem
with a lot of these people wondering ‘if I can fly
a plane….what else could I achieve?’
