5.00We had a fantastic time. The preflight information was clear, the staff were helpful when I needed to change my booking ( I had pressed the wrong button). The pre flight information was clear. We were really lucky with the weather and the views defy description . The pilot was fantastic and informative and someone who really enjoys his work.
Fabulous and worth every cent

5.00We debated the value of taking this trip but can honestly say it was worth it. Really well organised. Super and efficient check in staff. We were well briefed and our ‘escort’ to and from the airfield was delightful. The flights itself was beautiful. We had great weather and our pilot James ensured we had a smooth ride and excellent view. It was great landing and good for getting some good photos.
Excellent
