  • About

    Aerobatic stunt flying experience days start off on the ground with a comprehensive briefing and chat through any specific requirements with an instructor so that the flight can be tailored to specific requirements (and levels of braveness). Then climb aboard the plane - either a British Slingsby Firefly or modern light aircraft such as a Cessna. Once airborne, the expert pilot will demonstrate what the craft can do - so hang on tight for an aerobatic sequence including a roll, loop or stall turn. During the flight, take over the controls to experience the sensation of flying a plane first-hand.

    • Experience the thrill of flying
    • Hold on tight for an amazing aerobatic flying sequence
    • Loops, rolls and stall turns in mid flight
    • Take the controls with the supervision of an instructor
  • Key Info

    Availability

    Some venues operate seven days a week (subject to weather conditions), others a limited availability. Spring to autumn are the most popular times of year. We generally recommend booking several weeks in advance, even earlier for summer weekend dates.

    Participant Guidelines

    Restrictions for this experience vary according to venue. As a rule, if you weigh over 14 stone or are more than 6' tall, please check your suitability with us prior to booking.

    Weather

    Aerobatic flying is very weather dependent. It is crucial that you call the venue for a weather check before setting out. If your flight is cancelled because of bad weather you'll be re-booked for an alternative date or time.

    Duration

    Chocks-off to chocks-on flight time is 20 to 30 minutes, but please allow for longer at the centre.

    Numbers On Day

    Only you and the pilot will be in the plane. The briefing session may be shared.

    Spectators

    Spectators are welcome. A camera or a pair of binoculars will come in handy - there will be some great photo opportunities with your plane. Pets are not permitted at airfields.

    Dress Code

    Wear flat, soft-soled shoes. Any special clothing and headsets will be provided. Bring sunblock and a hat in summer, and gloves in cold weather. Sunglasses are recommended all year round.

    Other Info

    We suggest that you only have a very light meal or don't eat at all before your flight (a hearty meal beforehand may make you feel nauseous). Similarly, please don't drink alcohol before you fly - it will make you sick.

    An Experience Not To Be Forgotten

    From take off to landing the instructor talked me through everything, very informative and completely professional. At the end of the aerobatic phase, which was exhilarating, she told me to turn the aircraft around and head back to base. I flew the aircraft back to the airfield and did a few circuits allowing other aircraft to land. I still had control of the aircraft until the last moments of landing. I think I ended up as excited as a six year old I am Sixty. I would recommend this experience to anyone, however, make sure you don't have too much breakfast before hand!

    Excellent Time!!

    The experience was bought for me as a birthday present, and I had a great time. The instructor was very very knowledgeable and helped to make the flight both informative and enjoyable. My only crticism is that I think the time spent airborne is not really long enough. I would recommend it to anyone who was considering either buying the experience for themselves or for someone else. Have a go, you'll love it!!

    I bought the flight for my wife's 50th birthday present, and she loved it so much that she wants to go again - she wants to try a biplane flight next, and has even mentioned wingwalking - not bad for someone who normally can't climb to the top of a stepladder! Thanks to Red Letter Days and all at Tiger Airways especially ace pilot Tizi for a fabulous experience!

    Brilliant

    A stunning 30 minutes at the edge of reason - great intro by the pilot and excellent comms throughout the flight - would recommend it to anyone with the stomach for it

    Awesome Feelings!

    Wasn't sure what to expect but I loved it! The loop, roll and stall-turns all great along with seeing the land and sky flip round - such a buzz, for me anyway. Flying the plane was a yes please without a doubt and that was just as great as the aerobatics! Even had a go and managed to do a roll too! Ace!! A must have for anyone whether it's the stomach-churning ride you want or the gentle ride, both were great and much enjoyed! The views are just something too! Everything about it, I thoroughly enjoyed and think my grin confirmed that. Thank you! Fatima

    Great Gift

    Staff at blackbushe are really friendly. Advise to do a summer booking to avoid weather cancellations tho. Make sure you read the restrictions on height and weight before booking..we only just made it! A great and different present, so much so, my son wants one!

    Totally Breath Taking Experience!

    I brought this for my 'feel the need for an adrenalin rush' partner for his birthday feeling the need to test his nerve (Evil I know) lol! Having never flown before (ever) and slightly nervous at the start the instructor explained the manoeuvres in detail and told him they would only go as far as he wanted them to take it. Following loop the loop and various other drops and turns he arrived with the biggest smile on his face.... loved every minute. No nappy or sick bag required. He controlled the plane on the way back & apparently Wing Walking is next. Totally thrilling experience. If you're thinking of doing it, go for it!! I'm booking!! Woo-hoo!!

    Best Experience Of My Life.

    I would recommend the aerobatic flight to anyone who wants to experience something rather different to what might be considered flying in today's modern jet aircraft. The cockpit of the Cessna 152 A is quite compact, but rather than promote claustrophobia the relative intimacy with the pilot inspires trust and helps to quell any nerves. We climbed to 4,500 feet to get above the low cloud that had moved in. By this time the view was spectacular. Then the aerobatics began. We had to dive down through gaps in the cloud to gain enough speed to perform every manoeuvre. The rolls were great, the stall turn fabulous (an ambition achieved), but I have no words for the full loop.Just WOW. The whole experience was awesome. I refrained from taking the controls myself, just extremely happy to enjoy the rest of the flight. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I failed to get the promised half hour briefing, due to the pilot running late. A minor point and no complaint from me.

    I Have Found My Vocation In Life - Amazing!!!

    Never having flown in a light aircraft before, this really was a case of in at the deep end! I'm so glad I did it. The thrill was brilliant. The instructor was friendly and informative. I'm pleased that the experience was filmed from the plane (the view and my face!) for reliving later as I chose the optional DVD. I thoroughly recommend this experience ESPECIALLY if you've a stomach for those acrobatics!

    I have been really fortunate, during my life to experience many adrenaline busting rides, such as the stratusphere in Las Vegas. I can honestly say I have never felt anything quite like the Aerobatic flight I had on saturday 13th August. My sincere thanks and gratitude also to my pilot Tizzy, she was superb instructor

    Fabulous Day

    I would recommend the acrobatic flyte to everyone it was fabulous. I even got to fly the plane myself and learnt how to do a roll by myself. The instructor had is arms folded. He must have nerves of steel. Would love to do it again. The certificate you got would have been nicer if it was printed on better quality card instead of paper, but no biggy really.

    Everyone Should Try This - At Least Once!

    What a tremendous experience! I would recommend this to anyone with a reasonable constitution! I was looked after from beginning to the end by a highly professional team.

    That Was Amazing!

    I really had a great time up in the air... and around, in a loop, upside down, and more. Even the Red Arrows flew passed! What a treat to see them in the clouds and not from the ground this time! Loved it.

    A Great Experience, Very Enjoyable

    I booked the Aerobatic Flying session for my husbands 40th birthday. He recently went and had an incredible time, it was definitely memorable and the high light of his day. Recommended

    I thought the flight was excellent and would do it again, however my husband wasn't able to watch me do it. Shame as he bought it for me as a Christmas present and it would have been good to have filmed it. I would reconmend this, but check before inviting people to watch.

    Loved Every Second
