14th august 2025 at blackbushe airport
Join FAC at the Aerobility offices in Blackbushe Airport on 14th August 2025 for a Member Networking Event. Come along for a coffee and network with your fellow members and hear from the Aerobility team!
Aerobility is a UK charity that changes lives by providing the disabled community access to the magic and wonder of flight. We do this because taking the controls of an aircraft drives a focus on capability. This makes everything else in life feel that little bit more achievable, whilst offering the ultimate feeling of freedom and escape from restrictions of disability.
