"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.

  Absolutely brilliant experience flying the Harvard with Aero Legends. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, really worked hard to tailor the flight to what I wanted and just provide a first class experience overall.

The pilot, Phil, was so friendly and made me feel completely at ease with the flight. I still can’t quite believe I have experienced barrel rolls finally, but the icing on the cake was being allowed to take control of the aircraft in flight. I thought he’d gone mad, but Phil explained everything clearly before I took over, and made me feel completely confident with having a go.

Safety was taken very seriously with plenty of time dedicated to talking through different safety elements in situ in the aircraft, and there was plenty of time given to take photos and things with the plane and pilot afterwards.

I also met Charlie, the spitfire pilot, in the office afterwards and he spent time chatting to me about how the flight went.

Overall, a truly memorable afternoon delivered by a group of genuinely lovely and experienced people who wanted to make sure you left feeling like you had experienced something truly special.

  Fantastic experience provided by the staff and volunteers at Aerolegends. The information and insights provided by Craig made the Dakota experience! We enjoyed a laid-back and informative morning and felt extremely welcomed by the team.

  Purchased a Spitfire flight for my husband's significant birthday - was a fantastic experience for him and all of the family that came to watch. Was a great atmosphere watching all of the hustle and bustle of the airfield before, during and after his flight - wing walkers, sky divers and of course the legendary spitfire Elizabeth, Harvard etc. The team at Aero Legends were great - made you feel welcome and at ease. A truly once in a lifetime experience.
Special thanks to Philip - pilot of the Harvard and the infamous Parky - pilot of the spitfire for giving us such a wonderful experience and memories. Truly, highly recommended.

  The most unbelievable day of my life, hands down, from start to finish the lads at aero legends went above and beyond to make my experience the best day they could, flying the jet and getting to perform a few barrell rolls and loop the loops really made the day like a dream come true. Top marks and thanks to you all👌 👏
