Experience the Magic of Flight: Friday Evening Flying
Have you ever flown in a two seater glider aircraft and experienced the thrill of flying through the air, where there is no sound, no horrible, noisy engine with a big twirly thing on the front, just you and the birds for company. Then discover the thrill of silent flight as the day winds down and the weekend beckons with our exclusive Friday Evening Flying sessions at the Oxford Gliding Club. These special evening events offer a unique opportunity to experience the serenity of gliding against the backdrop of golden hour skies.
Why Friday Evenings Are Perfect for Gliding

Stunning sunset views of the countryside around our airfield from a perspective few ever witness,
Calmer atmospheric conditions for smoother flights
A relaxed, social atmosphere among fellow flying enthusiasts
