Today, I enjoyed a Prestige Flight with pilot Guillaume. It was a fantastic experience for my second flight, with an extended flight time this time around, as I had been left wanting more after my first introductory flight.
The views were stunning under glorious sunshine, and the icing on the cake was some aerobatics towards the end of the flight, adding an extra dose of adrenaline!
A big thank you to the TAKAMAKA team and to Juliette, our lovely host, for their kindness and warm welcome throughout the experience.
