Very friendly and efficient service from the flight centre. Good, clear instructions in advance of the event from Rachel and warmly welcomed on arrival. A memorable and really enjoyable flight. I felt entirely comfortable with Hals confident flying and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to take the controls. I would definitely recommend this event.

Fantastic experience. The team at V1 were excellent. Flew over my house and really felt I hands on for a good portion of the flight.

Very much enjoyed the experience, as the wings are above the cockpit the plane had all round visibility, it seemed effortless to sour from from cloud to cloud the scenery was stunning and Hal the pilot allowed me to take the controls and to fly the aircraft, which was so much easier then a Piper PA28 Warrior i had flown previously. My time in the air just seemed to disappear and it was time to land expertly by Hal on a grass field. I would definitely do this experience again.

I booked a flight experience and could not have asked for anything better he went beyond our expectations.The instructions he provided to find the place were very clear and his enthusiasm and passion for what he does was so infectious. He took the time to explain different things, and made sure the experience truly was personalised according to what we wanted. I bought the gift for my boyfriend and Hal was kind enough to let me jump in the plane for a quick 5 mins at the end so I could experience it too.An absolute pleasure and would definitely recommend booking with Hal.

A truly amazing experience that was both exciting and relaxing. Hal is very friendly and professional and willing to share his knowledge. Some stunning scenery in the area. I had the opportunity to fly the aircraft myself and got bitten by the bug. Thanks for making my day

Hal is a really nice guy, very friendly and clearly enjoys what he does. The flight was amazing and he let me take control of the plane for quite a while and go see places that I was interested in. He knows the area well and flew over some spots which he thought would be of interest to me to make it a more personal flight. Couldnt recommend this enough

Very enjoyable experience and it was great to be allowed to fly the aircraft myself. Hal is a relaxed pilot and I felt very safe with him in charge. I can highly recommend this experience.

This flying lesson experience was absolutely remarkable. It was something I wont forget. Hal was so friendly and funny. He introduced me to the controls and allowed me to take them several times. I was delighted by seeing the landscapes and marvellous cities from the sky.
