Andy Fraser
Fantastic experience. Great pilot who brought the day to life and made it thoroughly enjoyable
Richard Stange
We arrive at the small office above the hanger, and was immediately made welcome and relaxed. Our destination had a water logged runway so instead we were offered LeaonSolent which we accepted.Graham the instructor was brilliant, answered any and all our questions.We flew down the coast seeing many site and even an Aircraft Carrier.A short stop for coffee and cake, before the return flight.Cant recommend this enough. We are already planning to do the trip again in the summer.
John Hayward
This was a great experience. The company at Shoreham airport were well organised and the flying instructor was very good. We booked a 4 seater plane so my partner could come along for the ride and take photos. 40 minutes was enough to get a feel for the basics and see the sights around Shoreham, Worthing and Arundel
Jess
Had a brilliant time at my first flying lesson. Everyone was really friendly and my instructor Robin was great. Beautiful location as well
Val Secord
Spent a wonderful hour in a Piper Cub flying to the west from Shoreham, then all around Arundel Castle, down to the coast at Littlehampton and back past Worthing Pier to the Shoreham area. It was my first experience of using the grass runway and I was allowed to have control a lot of the time. My friendly and accomplished instructor explained about slipping skidding and how to use the rudder in conjunction with the ailerons when turning different to what I learned years ago when flying Cessnas . So grateful for this birthday gift
Anna
Absolutely amazing The team at Shoreham were incredible and this is a memory my son and I will hold dear for life. Highly recommend.
Julie Carter
I was bought a 30 min flying lesson as a gift and the whole experience was absolutely brilliant the guy in the office at Shoreham airport was amazing and so friendly, as was the pilot, and made the whole experience so enjoyable
Phil
Fantastic experience
Martin Thomas
I had a fantastic trip at Shoreham. The check in staff were great. Allowed my son to take some pictures of me and the plane. Pilot was great, told me where we were going. Asked if I wanted to fly or just a pleasure trip. Allowed me to take control for most of the time, and basically go where I wanted.Really fantastic time, and shame it was just an hour. Many thanks Martin
Richard Dainty
Reception staff were pleasant and informative. The pilot instilled confidence and complied with our request to fly around a particular site where we new friends would be present. A great experience only slightly spoiled by my deficient hearing making it impossible to take the controls.
Andy Harvey

Instruction was excellent and would thoroughly recommend. Would have given 5 stars but office staff need to improve communication about cancellation due to bad weather for those with a long journey to the airfield.

The flying experience at Shoreham airport was just amazing and very well organized. I will definitely recommend to others.

First rate fun, advise, and care. Fully informed throughout an amazing experience. I found 40 minutes was neither too short or too long for a first time experience. My husband came along on this trip and he thoroughly enjoyed himself too.

Paul Charman
Running behind time but not a bother due to laid back surroundings at shoreham airport . Just relaxed, drank tea and watched planes go by. The instructor Gemma was really friendly and made you feel at ease. Once in the air I was surprised by the amount of time I actually had the controls. Not just a quick go for a couple of minutes, but nearly all the time whilst in level flight. Great views of Sussex to be had. Would definitely do again.
James
A thoroughly enjoyable experience, had a great time.
Sue Cook
It was a fantastic experience and the instructor made me feel very at ease.

Trevor Craske
My wife arranged an Isle of Wight flying experience for my 60th birthday. We had a fantastic day and under the watchful eye of my instructor I actually took off from Shoreham Airport and was shown how to do turns,climb and line up the approach for landing. Would love to do it all again.
Wendy Beaumont
My daughter recently did the flying experience at Shoreham airport. She was to fly a 2 seater plane for 40 minutes. As the plane wasnt available the pilot asked her if she wanted to fly a 4 seater plane instead. As her Dad and I were with her we were asked if we wanted to go along as well. So the result was her Dad and I had a great time and my daughter really enjoyed her flight. The pilot was fabulous and all the staff in the office were great, advising my daughter not to go flying at the alloted time as the weather was rainy. We all had a coffee and went in brilliant sunshine, where as we could have gone in the rain and not had such a good experience. All in all I will definately use your company again and recommend it to others. Many thanks
Ben Wright

It was a great experience with a very friendly Copilot. Yes you do really fly the plane much to the amusement of my son sitting in the back. It was for 80th birthday, a very thoughtful present. Thank you all, Peter
