"T6 Harvard Experience"

Fly a T6 Harvard Experience

Fly a T6 Harvard Experience, available from North Weald Airfield (London/Essex), Compton Abbas Airfield (Dorset) & Headcorn Aerodrome (Kent). The Harvard was the second step for a WWII trainee RAF fighter pilot, a much more powerful aircraft than the gentle Tiger Moth with a 600 hp P&W radial engine which makes it much more like a fighter to fly. A trial flying lesson in the T6 Harvard is an amazing experience. We not only give you the opportunity to fly in the Harvard, you also take the controls yourself and actually fly a warbird.

G-DDMV

G-DDMV was originally built in 1943. After serving with various training units she was delivered to the Haitian Air Force on August 26th 1957 and given the serial 3209. The Haitian Air Force took delivery of 10 T6G, some of which were used as armed aircraft to counter incursions from the Dominican Republic by revolutionaries. 3209 was returned to the US during 1982, possibly the only survivor of the Haiti T6s.

G-GBHU ‘Carly’

G-BGHU was originally built in 1941 and served in the USAAF from 1942 to 1950 including the Korean war in 1950. Sold in 1952 to the French Air Force she saw service in Algiers in a COIN (counter insurgency) role. In 1961 she was sold to the Portugese Air Force who gave her service in Angola. She was used as a trainer in 1978/79 and eventually sold to the private sector in 1979 arriving in the UK.

  I flew the Mach loop with ‘Berty’ Brett on September9th. An unbelievable flight after a very professional training session on the ejector seat. Berty showed exceptional communication and training skills during the flight and made it fun.  The ground support staff were not only very warm and welcoming but highly competent.  This is a phenomenal experience never to be forgotten.

  A truly fantastic experience, flying from Hawarden through the Mach loop and along the Ogwen valley with some aerobatics to finish, can't recommend it highly enough. A very professional and friendly team, my guest and I were very well looked after, a big thank you to you all.

  Second time flying with Aerolegends. First was flying in the Spitfire Elizabeth an emotional and truly perfect experience. Second time was in the Strikemaster 8 years later, this month. A once in a lifetime very special experience.  So lucky to do it and just made it as the weather closed in. Both times I took the optional recording. Because of the nostalgia,  I preferred the Spitfire. Great company offering unique experinces, I will cherish, and brag to my friends and family! Pilots are amazing,  Parky and Sean!

  A fantastic experience flying in the Strikemaster Jet and doing the Mach Loop in Wales, only let down slightly by the video of the experience purchased separately, which ended up being 2 separate videos from the 2 cameras, 1 of the pilots faces throughout the flight, and 1 looking out the front. When I had previously gone up in a Spitfire with Aero Legends, the videos were combined, so you had the main picture looking out the front of the plane, and a smaller video inset that showed the pilots faces, which was great. The 2 separate videos was poor, as no-one wants to watch the pilots faces for 30 minutes, and if you watch the front facing camera, you can't hear what the pilot is saying at all or see any reactions. For the extra £150, the video was really disappointing. That being said, the overall experience was amazing, and the whole team couldn't have been more friendly or professional. From the guys doing the safety briefing and kitting you out, to the ground crew who took you to the plane and also took photos on my phone, and finally to the pilots themselves (I went up with Berty) who was brilliant and made sure to let me know everything that was going on and give me a chance to take the controls. It is a full on experience, but one that won't be forgotten any time soon!
