Battlefield Tours

SkySchool MD Alex Ledger is an avid Military Historian and enjoys nothing more than using his Paramotor to visit and explore various battlefields. In 2010 he flew from Omaha Beach to Utah Beach in Normandy and in 2011 he flew along the Somme Battlefields. Both flights were truly epic and gave him a completely unique perspective of these historic locations. Alex now plans to offer a similar experience to fellow Paramotor pilots by running a Paramotor Battlefield Tour to the D-Day Beaches and the Somme Battlefields in France. The aim is to fly over as many sites as possible, weather permitting, and if not visit them by foot. View the video of Alex's trip to The Somme in 2011. Prices for the Battlefiled Tours depend upon the number of pilots involved, the length of the trip and whether you require equipment. To make an enquiry please contact us.
