GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR VICTA; Commencing Countdown, Engines ON!
Take flight with us at iFLY in Manchester for an out of this world experience as we defy gravity and float on a pad of air.
This VIP activity provides two freefall flights accompanied by trained and qualified instructors. You will receive a digital photo and a digital movie of your experience as well as a personalised flight certificate.
This activity is expected to run from approximately 4pm to 6pm on the Saturday 30 November, however timings will be confirmed closer to the date.
The venue has accessibility in mind: floor plans have been specifically designed to be free of obstructions allowing for ease of access. The venue has lift access directly to the wind tunnel. Wheelchairs can be fully manoeuvred into all areas of the building including right up to the flight entrance.
VICTA Staff will complete a health and safety waiver on your behalf for this activity; if you have any questions about this, please get in touch with the Activities team on activities@victa.org.uk (Please note that you are unable to fly if you have previously dislocated a shoulder).
