Flying from Saltby airfield with Buckminster Gliding Club we aim to get all those interested in flying and aviation airborne and gaining the experience of powerless flight. With various expeditions planned across the year, gliding is a great way to meet fellow students from Loughborough but also other universities across the country. Training is reasonably priced with the chance to become a solo g

lider pilot in just 3-6 months, but that's only the start, once a solo pilot you can progress your new found aviation skills further and train for aerobatics and cross country flying. Get in contact details can be found at:
