What Can I Expect

Flying lessons at Halfpenny Green Airport, near Wolverhampton! We are offering vouchers for 30 and 60-minute trial flights in two or four-seater aircraft from this popular airport. Easily accessible from Birmingham and all over the Midlands, Halfpenny is a great choice.

This Halfpenny Green flying school generally uses Piper PA28s or Cessna 172s for the four-seater trial lessons and a Cessna 152 for the two-seater experiences. Agile and forgiving, these planes all make for ideal trainer aircraft.

What’s more, Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport (to give it its proper name) is a very well-kept aerodrome that is a pleasure to visit. Turn into the drive, past the distinctive memorial sculpture adorning the entrance and you'll notice all the blue and whitewashed single storey buildings. These original RAF structures and new extensions now house various businesses, including the school you'll be flying with.

Originally known as Bobbington Airport, this triple runway aerodrome first opened as an RAF station in 1941. Civilian flights have been authorised here since 1961 and nowadays the airfield is home to some 70 aircraft. The vestiges of wartime are also very much in evidence, with the original control tower housing an excellent cafe and restaurant, great for that pilot refuelling essential - the full English breakfast!

All of these flying lessons from Halfpenny Green near Wolverhampton deliver excellent training from highly proficient pilot instructors at an aerodrome that is friendly and welcoming. Book your flying lessons at Halfpenny Green Airport with Into The Blue!
