Piper Super-Cub - Flying Introductory Lesson - 1 hour
Had a lovely first flying experience with Alex. He's extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. Made the flying experience seem easy, and truly enjoyable. Had the controls for almost 30mins while he guided sightseeing over Kent. Loved it from beginning till end, and planning on going up on Tiger moth next. Highly recommend!

Piper Super-Cub - Flying Introductory Lesson - 1 hour

Delve into the past on a 20 Minute Vintage Biplane Flight
What a simply amazing experience! I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of my flight. Alex was very reassuring and spent time introducing me to the aircraft and all of the instruments - he was very professional throughout. I knew exactly what was going to happen at all times and the loop the loop and barrel role was the ‘icing on the cake’ for me! There was no pressure to do this though and Alex was very keen for me to have the experience which I wanted. My husband who went up after me wholeheartedly...

Alex was very professional, outlining the aircraft, it's features and the flight itself. From booking to post flight, communication was on point. The flight itself was a very memorable moment and a knee in a lifetime opportunity for me personally. Highly recommend :)
