  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👌 👏

  Ross and I had the most spectacular day with your amazing pilots Parky and Richard and the team at Headcorn. We are struggling to let go of the "Spitfire Grin"  having experienced a loop the loop and several victory rolls in both the Spitfire and the Havard. Also, being given the opportunity to take the controls and fly these priceless, vintage machines was well and truly beyond our expectations. What an experience of a lifetime...a dream come true!
Thank you all so much.
Ross & Lindsey
