My husband had a wonderful time. Roger was so kind allowing grandchildren to have a look at the plane before Papa took off. The flight was over many places my husband knew which he loved. A slightly unsteady man greeted me after all the barrel rolls and loop the loop but he soon recovered A great 70th birthday gift.

What an amazing, adrenaline rushing experience. Roger was a brilliant pilot and really knew his stuff. He explained to me all the different manoeuvres and talked me through the plane what a beauty the plane isUp in the air it was magnificent The nerves started to kick in but as soon as we did the first roll I just enjoyed every second. Cant recommend this enough

Very impressed with the experience. Roger takes time to explain the process. Once in the air he always checks youre ok and ready to proceed with the next manoeuvre. The biplane is super responsive and stable. An exhilarating ride and a special experience. Thank you.

It was a brilliant day. Roger took time to find out what each of us wanted from our flights and was full of detailed technical information. My husband had been before and was keen to have the opportunity to take the contols, which he was able to. It was my first time and Roger was mindful of my trepidation. I had an exhilarating flight,felt totally safe, amazing.

This was an absolutely brilliant experience, Roger explained all that we we would be doing and whether I fancied taking over the controls for a while, which I did. The whole experience was relaxed, informal and just thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. I would recommend this to anyone. When I next fly on a commercial airline Im afraid it will seem quite dull

What a fantastic experience, Roger the pilot took his time explaining the aircraft and its controls, luckily the weather was good and we did lots of manoeuvres showing the aerobatics that the plane was capable of. Roger let me take the controls and I actually flew some basic stuff.

Really excellent from start to finish. Personable on the phone competent enough to be relaxed but thorough on the day happy to pitch instructions at my level. Well prepared plane , slightly mindblowing experience combining awesome flying experience with quite a fairground ride, if thats what you want and some time driving, secure in the knowledge that a Responsible Adult will step in if needed. Completely recommended Ill be back
