Some flying schools are based at busy airports imposing extra costs, delays and complications on your training.  Sheffield Aero Club is based at Netherthorpe Airfield, our own airfield with four fully licensed grass runways and available to us all year round. What's more, we're sited on the borders of Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire within easy reach of Sheffield, Worksop, Chesterfield, Nottingham, Rotherham and Doncaster and, thanks to our close proximity to the M1, M18 and A1 it doesn't take long to reach us from further afield.  Come and visit us on a sunny weekend and you will find a bustling, friendly place - grass roots flying at its best.

Looking for an unforgettable gift for a friend or loved one? Why not buy them a 30 minute trial flight? - we even promise to keep it a secret if you really want to surprise them!
