Sessions
Fly in the wind tunnel
You fly in turns of about 2 minutes each, alternating with video review with the instructor; for an effective training session we recommend at least 15 minutes in total. The price depends on duration and number of participants - get in touch for a quote. A combined package with the AFF course is also available: contact us for details.
The wind tunnel is run by a partner facility: get in touch to book a session and check terms - if combined with a VZONE activity like the AFF course, the related S.S.D. membership terms apply to that portion. Learn more about membership →
