  I was lucky enough to experience the 55-minute Isle of Wight flight in a Spitfire out of Compton Abbas Airfield. It was incredible! The pilot was amazing, as was the whole team. Everyone was so friendly and approachable. The video package was added to the flight, and I'm so glad because my family and friends can see the smile on my face for the entire trip. I can say I got to fly a Spitfire! The barrel rolls and loops (not compulsory, but why not?) were awesome (I'm running out of superlatives!). Like millions of people, I have "flown" home computer flight simulators since the dawn of gaming. Imagine the best simulator you can, then add all your senses being excited simultaneously and multiply the total by 100. If you can do that, then you'll start to understand just what the experience provides. Breathtaking. Exhilarating. The views across the English countryside, out to sea. It's impossible for me to overstate the day. Compton Abbas has plenty of parking and viewing for family and friends. There's a restaurant. Make a day of it because it'll be a day you'll always remember.

  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!
