Fly a plane near Sofia in an Apollo Fox, a light two-seat aircraft where you sit next to a flying instructor and take the controls yourself once you are in the air. Flights start from a small airfield about 30 minutes north of Sofia, over the Iskar Gorge and the Balkan range. No licence or flying experience needed: 20 minutes for €130 or 40 minutes for €250.

Would definitely recommend - quick replies via WhatsApp, clear information and they were able to source and equivalent at short notice when the venue we booked with had an issue. Had i not already booked directly i'd have organised the rafting through SoFun as well. Good value service."

The Apollo Fox is a small high-wing aircraft with two seats side by side and the propeller at the front. You climb in through the side door, put on a headset and sit next to your instructor, with a wide view through the windscreen and side windows. It takes off from a real runway and flies over real countryside, so what you feel through the controls is the plane answering you.
This is a flying lesson, not a sightseeing ride. After a short briefing on the ground, your instructor takes off and, once you are in the air, hands you the controls. You steer the plane yourself while the instructor watches and can take over at any moment. The route is set on the day by the weather, and each flight takes one flyer, so friends fly one after another and watch each other take off.
We also arrange gyrocopter flights from the same airfield. The difference is the machine: the Apollo Fox flies on fixed wings like any aeroplane, while a gyrocopter gets its lift from a free-spinning rotor on top. If you want to know what it feels like to fly a real plane, this is the one. If the rotor appeals more, see our gyrocopter flight near Sofia.
Book your plane flight near Sofia: pick 20 or 40 minutes, a date and how many of you are flying. We confirm within minutes, and you pay only after we confirm.
