About

Mona Flying Club, based at RAF Mona near Bodffordd in central Anglesey, offers trial flying lessons in light aircraft, accompanied by a qualified instructor over some of the island's best coastline and scenery. It's a genuine flying lesson rather than a passive sightseeing trip, so passengers get hands-on time at the controls alongside the aerial views. Flights make a popular gift experience — book ahead, since slots depend on instructor availability and weather.
