Rated 5 out of 5 by Amazing! Excellent experience and really lovely staff. My pilot Richard was very friendly and went through the whole flying process including pre-flight checks, etc. It was great! Highly recommend it. 9 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Yay! I get to tick flying a plane off my bucket list! I've always wanted to fly a plane and after this experience I was able to tick it off my bucket list and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment! I got to take control of the plane during taxi, take off and landing but because I didn't know a thing about flying I spent the first few minutes really nervous and a little lost! But my co-pilot was excellent and made me feel at ease, and once we were in the air and I got the hang of things, I got to appreciate the breath taking views and enjoy the thrilling experiencing of turning at crazy angles, accelerating and feeling my tummy dip thanks to the G force! I would recommend reading up on flying before going - the "hands on briefing" before the flight was ok but I didn't really get enough out of it to confidently take control of the plane at take off. I didn't really get a debrief after it either. Bring a small camera or your smart phone - my pilot took over a hundred photos of the view from the cockpit and me with the head gear on, so I have proof of the experience. Heaps of fun and definitely worth doing once in your life. I want to go again just so I can learn and appreciate flying more!! 2 December 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by The Light Aircraft Trial Instructional Flight was a fantastic experience. My instructor was excellent and let me do most of the controlling, including taking off! I would definitely do it again! 8 July 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Very enjoyable experience taking the controls of a plane. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who has an interest in learning to fly. 18 June 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by My daughters (who purchased the Trial Instructional Flight for my 60th birthday & attended on the day I took it) asked if I had enjoyed the experience - I had to answer "no" because I was far too absorbed in having the experience to actually "enjoy" it at the time. Would I recommend it to anyone who had even the slightest curiosity about flying? Absolutely! And a special commendation to the instructor, Jamie. 12 June 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by I bought the experience for my father, as he's dreamt about being a pilot since he was a boy, and it was amazing to see his face light up when we suprised him, very friendly staff, and well organised, due to weather we were unable to go on the day we wanted but they rescheduled and sorted it all out without any problems. only way you could really make it better, is if it were longer and more interactive for the guest on the ground, with a tour through the hangar and other planes or something engaging as opposed to waiting in the car till they landed. thoroughly satisfied! 8/10 2 June 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by My comfort zone and getting out of it, were feelings that were oscillating all the time. But being in professional hands (of the pilot and mechanic) help tremendously! :) 20 May 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by I ordered and booked online and everything went very smoothly. The voucher arrived in the mail in time for Valentines day (which I was very happy about as I ordered it quite late). The booking for the flight was confirmed via email and all went ahead as per the time and date requested. And finally my husband loved the experience thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you very much for making it so easy to book, it was a hassle free experience that I would certainly recommend to others : ) 28 February 2012
