Looking is good, listening is great, but touching is better! It is their plan to make every aircraft accessible, inside and out, so that you can have a guided tour (of the big ones) or sit in the pilot’s seat of the fighters and imagine what it might be like to hurtle through the heavens at the speed of sound, 10 miles (that’s 15 kilometres) up in the sky.
CAHC puts you straight into the atmosphere of 1950s, 60s and 70s military flying – and then offers you a Cornish cream tea and a chance to buy souvenirs for yourself and your friends.
To make your visit even more memorable you can take to the skies. Experience flying first hand as you take the controls of a Cessna 152, Robin DR-400 or Piper PA28 aircraft. Prices start from just £95 and can be booked in advance or on the day.
