Overview
UP, UP, and AWAY! Experience the fun of flying PRIVATELY in a small aeroplane.
Discover the stunning region of Lille from above with a local private pilot who shares his passion for aviation and area with you.
Plan the flight route with your pilot while adhering to local safety guidelines, meeting directly at one of the exclusive aerodromes in the suburbs of Lille.
