Formation Spitfire Experience

Spitfire MJ444 will be joining the fleet in 2024, marking the much-anticipated return of the Formation Spitfire weekends. This development promises an unparalleled experience for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

Passengers embarking on this extraordinary journey will have the opportunity to fly in the UK’s finest T9 Spitfires, taking off from historic airfields in London/Essex, Kent and Dorset. These locations, with their wartime charm and iconic grass runways, set the stage for an authentic and immersive experience.

What sets Aero Legends apart is not only the remarkable aircraft but also the team of experienced Spitfire pilots who ensure a thrilling and safe adventure. In just 8 minutes after takeoff, passengers can find themselves in close formation over the majestic White Cliffs of Dover, a sight that invokes the spirit of wartime aviation.
