Three minutes may not sound like a long time, however when you're being blasted with a 140mph wind it is more than enough. It is by no means an unpleasant experience however it is quite tiring the first time, although once you're out all you want to do is get back in again.
In the interest of science I've uploaded all three of my attempts so you can see the progression in the short time I was in there, in three minutes you can control yourself in the tunnel and in my case stop bumping into things, falling out of the sky or floating away like an umbrella in the wind (note the awesome catches in the first video).
Shoe came off on the second attempt and it threw me a little, not nearly as much as the manic spin did though - it was a lot faster and higher than the video gives credit for.
The best offer with http://www.buyagift.com/ for £49 for two people to have two minutes in a wind tunnel. An extra £11 p/p for another minute at the end. The good thing is you can redeem the voucher at either the Manchester or the Milton Kaynes Airkix, so it doesn't matter if you're a northern monkey or southern fairy.

Great Blog entry! Airkix is fabulous isn't it?!?! After my first flight I also became addicted and am now a regular at the MK tunnel (like every week!)
I thought you might be interested in the fact that my eventual goal is to also become an instructor!
Thank you, yes it's probably one of the best ways to spend hard earned cash, can you imagine doing this for a living? Good luck on your endeavor to become an instructor :)
