keith aubrey corlett
A super experience that exceeded my expectations with a friendly professional pilot.
Great weather always helps!!
Darren Evans
I had left it I tilt he last minute to redeem my voucher, but Andy could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. We managed to arrange a flight despite some days of inclement weather and I’m glad we did. After a good safety brief and chat about the craft, we suited up and away we went. Some great views of the Somerset levels, including Burrows Mump. I have lived here for 50 years and although I have flown over the levels in military aircraft seeing them from a two seater is a totally different experience. I would definitely recommend, and I’m trying to convince my 21 yr old daughter to book!
Darren Evans
Andy was very good with his communication once I started the booking process. Given the time of year he kept in contact to plan the best day for weather. On arrival he was pleasant and polite, a really nice chap. You could he was really passionate about his flying. He showed me around the aircraft and explained its operation prior to flying. Then we got kitted up and airborne. He kept the communication up when we were in the air and even let me have a go. The time flew by. Thoroughly enjoyable and if you like flying you’ll love it.
Helan Gidley
Great experience really enjoyed it. Andy was a very professional and reassuring host.
Highly recommended.
Lea
My husband bought this for my 70th Birthday this month and it was fantastic. I highly recommend Andy at the flying school and Into The Blue. I felt really safe and comfortable the whole time. I would recommend that everyone puts this on their Bucket List!

Andy was great
Chris
Absolutely fantastic!
Andy was amazing the whole thing was an experience of a lifetime. I couldn’t recommend this any more. Just brilliant for the 60min flight
Mike B
What a great experience this was! Andy was a terrific host who explained everything simply and clearly and provided interesting commentary during the flight, pointing out interesting landmarks. It was like an armchair ride above the beautiful Somerset countryside.
Richard
Andy was an excellent host and an experienced pilot, he fully explained the crafts flight controls and capabilities. Taking control of the craft was easy and I felt fully in control and safe. The flight was smooth and the wind speed was not a problem. The aerial view was superb and I would definitely recommend Andy to all my friends and family. Mic and headset connect you to the pilot so you can easily converse throughout the flight.
Finlay
This was a fantastic experience and being open to the elements really heightened the fun. I flew out to the coast and Andy my pilot pointed out several landmarks of interest. Taking control of the aircraft was a lot easier than I had expected and the craft was stable and responsive.....great time.
Sue
The whole process of purchasing the vouchers in the presentation box was simple. They made a great gift idea. The flight with Andy was fantastic. We had an idea of where we would like to see and he obliged with an hour flight that was exhilarating. He put us at ease from the start and was a skilled pilot reassuring throughout. Many thanks again Andy for a fantastic flight.
Christopher Wheeler
It was a great experience and exactly as I thought it would be.
Andy was the pilot and he was just great for this kind of experience.
I would recommend this product. I wanted to capture my experience so on the day I took my GoPro but was unable to use it. If I knew this in advance and could have prepared so that I could have captured the trip, it might be something that would improve on the experience. Overall it was great.
The other thing I liked about into the blue was there were no hidden costs like so many other companies
Geoff Davies
A fantastic experience which is a must to try. Well organised by the instructor Andy Buchan who spared no expense with answering questions whilst on the ground and in the air. I had the chance to take control of the plane and am planning on taking my pilots licence for microlights next summer, so thrilling was the experience. Although having flown gliders in my younger years this was so much different and cant thank Andy enough for instilling the need to fly again.
Ron Dyson
Many thanks again for an excellent flying experience on Monday – I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a pleasure to meet you
Stewart
Thoroughly enjoyable experience flying over areas I knew I was able to pick out my own house and surrounding neighbourhood as well as other landmarks and a flight out to the coast with Andy pointing out places of interest. I will probably do this again in the future and thoroughly recommend it.
David
The pilot, Andy, is really helpful and amenable to the flight plan. During the flight he spent time to point out the places of interest. It was a really enjoyable experience.
Ian Hutter
