I very much enjoyed the experience and strongly recommend it. My instructor was Dave at Staverton. He explained the aircraft controls and instruments in a clear way prior to departure and then gave me control of the aircraft from almost immediately after take off through to start of approach. Great experience go try it.

The flying experience itself was amazing Alex the instructor at Staverton Airport was great, his whole demeanor put me at ease and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He also took the controls a couple of times to allow me to take pictures and video.Into The Blue are a great company with excellent communications. Due to the pandemic they pushed back the end date on my experience three times so that I wouldnt miss out. I cant praise them enough.

30 minute flying lesson. Despite the covid issues, everyone worked hard to arrange a suitable date. On the date, everything was great. Good check in safety briefing and the full time at the controls. Recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Dave Houghton was a brilliant instructor. He was knowledgeable, articulate and calm throughout. He kindly allowed my wife to join me and ensured the flight included a route and sights which we would be familiar with and enjoy. We now have wonderful memories of the day and felt Dave went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.
