Paul Cook
Such an amazing day, perfect weather, pilot training me was ever do good, couldn’t of asked for a better experience.
Views over Gloucestershire and beyond were stunning, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.
Steve
Brilliant experience - pilot explained every control in clear layman's terms and in the air had plenty of opportunity to take control and do some 'real' flying!
Fraser
Very friendly staff and an amazingly intense (and fun!) experience.
WENDY lister
One of the best days of my life
fred
Amazing experience, had way more opportunity to take the controls than I was expecting which was unreal. Really nice guys, who took lots of time to explain everything in laymans terms. They even took my girlfriend up in a separate aircraft as it was going up anyway so got some great photos! Just need to save up for another 40 lessons. Highly recommend!
Gill Foad
A fantastic experience with great instructor who made the day very special.
EWakeman
I had a half hour helicopter flying lesson from Gloucester Airport. The female instructor was awesome, very calm and she explained everything she was doing. I got to use all 3 controls and flew back from Stroud (although the instructor had to take full control due to my rubbish attempts at hovering). This was an experience I'll never forget, a totally amazing day. Would definitely recommend.
Graham tyler
I really enjoyed my helicopter flight and having the chance to have a go at flying it was great. The instructor was very good and I would highly recommend it.
Jackie Davies
Absolutely loved this experience. Had heard it was quite hard to fly a helicopter which meant i was a bit nervous beforehand. But my instructor was really helpful and was brave enough to let me (just about) have a go on my own once she'd let me have a go at learning each of the controls independently. Had a great time and would definitely recommend to anyone
Debbie Curtis
We bought out son, Jay, a helicopter flying lesson for his 13th birthday and he flew from Staverton airport. He had a very nice lady flying instructor who, during the briefing and after asking him a few questions seemed quite impressed with his knowledge of aircraft. Needless to say, she let him take total control as they flew from Tewkesbury to Gloucester! His face was a picture when he got back - the first thing he said (bearing in mind you can start working towards getting a pilot's licence from the tender age of 14) was "Mum, I only need 45 hours flying to get my licence!"
