Awesome! I Want To Learn To Fly ...
The most breat taking experience of my life, and hopefully in the near future shall be following up with flying lessons!
I had a really enjoyable experience, the people at the airfield were polite and helpful. I felt safe with the pilot which is saying something because it take a lot for me to feel safe with a stranger. I would like to thank them very much for a brilliant day and an interesting experience.
Most Amazing Experience Ever!
I was given this experience as a present. I have to say I was a little apprehensive, but wow what a fantastic day, the pilot was really nice and totally put me at ease and before I knew it we were at 2000 feet performing stall turns, rolls and loops and even had a go at flying it myself. Would do it again anyday. Amazing!
What A Fantastic Experience!
The family spectators and myself arrived at the aerodrome on a windy but sunny cloudless day, we were greeted with a warm welcome by friendly staff, free coffee and introductions to the pilot Frank. We then proceeded to the aircraft where Frank talked through and demonstrated various aspects of the aircraft and safety systems, a good time to pose for some photos as well. Buckled up side by side it's very cosy in the cockpit, engine started, we were taxiing down the runway to get in position for takeoff, given the all clear we were soon off into the blue sky with fantastic visibility and views of the countryside below. The aerobatic manoeuvres were just as fabulous and enjoyable as pilot Frank had suggested and yes I got the opportunity to control some of them myself. I would most certainly do it all again. Thanks Red Letter Days for a terrific unforgettable experience.
Great Experience And Brilliant People!
I was a little scared before taking this flight but I had a wonderful time. Everyone was so friendly and nice. The flight was so exciting and the experience priceless. Thank you so much!
Exciting, Thrilling And Safe
After a quick safety brief we were off, the instructor performed several loops, barrel rolls and stall turns, then I took control and performed two loops and a double barrel role by following his instructions. Amazing!!!!!
To Infinity And Beyond!!!
I had the most amazing time. The staff were extremely friendly and it was a really wonderful experience. We did many loops and I LANDED THE PLANE!!!! Yay!
Fantastic Experience Handled By True Professionals
Simply cannot fault the overall service. When receiving the gift experience I was thrilled and the booking system was easy and reliable. Staff were friendly, amenable and very professional at all times. A very rare thing in this day and age!

What a truely incredible experience. Something completely far out compared to normality. And for my friends on the ground, from the briefing room white board illustration of a loop-the-loop and a barrel roll, they could only imagine what it is really like!
I knew a 2-seater aircraft was going to be more 'atmospheric' than a bigger plane. Being right in front of the controls was great, and then being allowed to have a go was amazing. I even got to take it through a loop-the-loop and a barrel roll. The instructor was there to lend a hand if needed and was keen to encourage me to have a go. He explained everything as we went along. I even got to land the plane at the end. These little extras made it well worthwhile.
I was a little nervous beforehand, but within minutes of meeting my pilot and seeing the plane it was replaced with excitement. The experience was a lot more than I expected. I was able to fly the plane a lot and enjoyed every minute of the flight. I had a grin on my face for days after. I can no longer see a small plane without wishing I was up there.
Over The Moon ... Well Over The Wing
I was greeted with a friendly smile and checked in for my flight. After I short while I met my pilot for my flight and he showed me all the workings of the firefly. After we took off I had the chance to have a go at the controls. Once at 3000 ft the pilot did a series of aerobatics including Cuban turns, stall turns and loops. Before I knew it we had to head back but not before another stall turn over the airfield. Just a great day and the pilot was friendly and so welcoming.
An Experience Never To Be Forgotten!
The staff were extremely helpful and immediately put you at ease. The experience itself was out of this world - a real confidence booster. Loop the loops, barrel rolls, stall turns and the chance to have a go at doing it all yourself (if you're brave enough!!) A strong (and empty) stomach is a must. Additionally the views are breathtaking and awe-inspiring and had me wanting for more....!! An experience I shall never forget, a certificate to prove that I really did do it, and a hunger to get back up in the air for more.
Exhilarating, very professional, felt safe throughout the experience, would recommend to family and friends and now have the buzz to do more.
The Chance To Try Out The Controls Was Amazing
A fantastic experience to do rolls, loop-the-loop etc. The chance to try out the controls and do my own aerobatics was amazing. A great introduction to the fun and freedom of flying. I loved every minute!
Memories Are Made Of This!!
What a fantastic flight - the whole experience ran like clockwork - very experienced and knowledgable staff. Put you at ease and made the flight very enjoyable. Definitely want to do it again.
Cannot Believe I Did This!?
This really was brilliant. Within minutes of taking off I was controlling the plane and could not believe it when my pilot said, "OK, that was how we do a loop the loop - how about you do it yourself this time?!". So I did! As well as my own barrel rolls and stalled turns. My dad did it too and he even landed the plane!!! Brilliant time which has prompted me to look into getting my own pilot's license.
Fantastic Experience - Now 'Hooked' Forever
The whole experience was superb. The people, location, support, aircraft were excellent. Only problem, it was not long enough, but that's down to cash!! Nothing further to add, as they would only be superlatives.
Just a really hassle free day, with a knowledgeable and capable pilot, who took time to explain the manoeuvres as well as giving me a real opportunity. Something I'd love to do again one day.
