Looking for a thrilling helicopter experience? Look no further than Shobdon Aerodrome in Herefordshire! Whether you're interested in a 30 or 60 minute lesson in a two or five-seater aircraft, this long-established helicopter training school just west of Leominster is the perfect place to start. But why, you might ask? Well, for one thing, Shobdon Aerodrome is run by owner Alan Ramsden, who has been offering helicopter lessons in Herefordshire since 1992. His story is an inspiring one: after gaining his Private Pilot's Licence and flying light aircraft for some time, he took a five-minute helicopter flight in a 206 Bell Jetranger at Shobdon Aerodrome that changed his life. He went on to sell his business, move to the USA, retrain on helicopters and become a helicopter pilot and instructor. If you book a helicopter flight at Shobdon Airfield, you'll benefit from the extensive knowledge and experience of the pilot instructors. Plus, you'll get to enjoy the stunning backdrop of Leominster and the beautiful Hereford countryside while you're up in the air!

My Helicopter Experience was amazing I didnt want it to end. Everyone at Shobdon airfield were really friendly especially James, the flight instructor. He made me feel very comfortable and was very patient. I even got to fly the helicopter myself Its also great for friends and family to come along and watch. They have a great kitchen diner where you can help yourself to drinks and a small balcony to watch from.All in all a great day. Would highly recommend.

This was a special birthday gift for my partner who is one of those people who has tried just about everything and is very difficult to buy a present for The flight took place on a perfect day weather wise and my partner didnt stop smiling from start to finish. The welcome and intro was thorough and informative, pilot James was absolutely the best, so knowledgable, skilled, friendly and with a great sense of humour. I was allowed to look round the helicopter and to get up close and personal to take lots of pictures to commemorate the day .. all in all a fabulous experience for both my partner and myself Definitely recommend and will be booking again
