Fun gyrocopter flights out of Halfpenny Green Airport near Wolverhampton! We are offering 30 and 60-minute flights in an open-cockpit gyrocopter departing from this delightful General Aviation airfield near Stourbridge flying over the lovely South Staffordshire area.
With Wolverhampton to the north east and Stourbridge to the south east and Birmingham in between this airport is well-placed for exploring the West Midlands. If you already know the area you’ll be able to chat to your gyro instructor to work out where you’d like to fly. There are lots of options available to you and loads to see while you’re up there in the gyrocopter.
From fancy country houses and hotels to canals and industrial heritage this area has it all. Within moments of taking off in your gyrocopter from Halfpenny Green you’ll see you are surrounded by golf courses. Halfpenny Green Enville Worfield and Himley Hall are all within spotting (or should that be ‘putting’) distance.
It’s a lovely part of the world with lots of rolling countryside and not massively overpopulated. And it’s all the more delightful to explore when you’re sitting in an open-cockpit aircraft. This is proper gyrocopter flying that’s open to the elements and affords you the best views (and a flying suit to keep you nice and cosy!).
If on the longer flights you head in a westerly direction towards Bridgnorth you might well see the likes of Bridgnorth’s Cliff Railway with the resplendent castle gardens and even the mill at Knowle Sands. Taking a southerly flight path towards Stourbridge will give you views of this pleasant market town including Steven’s Park and the impressive sandstone rocks at Kinver.
What you get to see on your gyrocopter flight out of Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport very much depends on weather conditions on the day and any other flying restrictions. In essence you and your pilot come up with the flight plan together so you fly where you want to! Stay fairly local on the 30-minute flight or head further afield on the 60-minute session. And in both cases there’s time for you to have a go at the controls of the gyro yourself!
