South east coast aerial tour
We had a great trip with Rhys from Rochester airport. He planned the trip around specific requests to see certain parts of Kent and was great at pointing out where we were, and photo opportunities. I booked this for a belated birthday/father day present for my Dad who has lived all his life in the area and he really enjoyed the morning. Thank you!

Castles & Coast: A Kent Aerial Adventure
WOW. What an incredible experience. A different pilot had cancelled our booking and it was looking unlikely a flight would go ahead…With less than 7days notice, Rhys accepted our request and planned a better route in a bigger (and better) aircraft! Rhys gave me a call a few days before the flight to let me know abit about him, the route and answered any questions I had - super helpful as it was our first time flying in a light aircraft so I did have a few questions! The flight was incredible...
