What Our Customers Say About Us

Allison Gargett

Fab flight over too quickly would love to do again

Philip Kirkland

Captain Jason, thank you so much for a brilliant afternoon flight and a glimpse of Newcastle. From the warm welcome, simple check-in, reassuring safety brief and the helpfulness of all, we certainly had a great time with you. For me, having retired from the Metro after 50 years, it was a real thrill to fly over our new train depot at South Gosforth (see pic)...it looks fabulous. We purchased our souvenir photos which were a lovely touch too. The flight was a present from our children and grandchildren, but I think we will be back with you for another flight soon. Oh, and thanks for arranging the good weather on the day! Would recommend this activity and the operators to all my friends out there. Take care, see you soon. Phil and Karen.

Great day, blue sky's. A venture worth it's weight in gold. Already mentioned to my friends that it was a great experience seeing London (River Thames) and south London from thousands of feet in the air. With a good commentary from our pilot

The helicopter buzz flight itself was a true adventure. Soaring over picturesque landscapes and iconic landmarks was a dream come true. The pilot's expertise and commentary added depth to the journey, making it not only visually stunning but also informative. From the moment I arrived at the heliport, I was greeted with warm smiles and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and answered all my questions, making me feel at ease This helicopter buzz flight was an experience of a lifetime. It left me with incredible memories and a newfound appreciation for helicopter aviation. I can't recommend it enough to anyone seeking a thrilling adventure and a fresh perspective.

Adam Hall

This was the first time I had ever been at the controls of any aircraft, including a helicopter. With the help of the excellent instructor pilot, it was an excellent and enjoyable experience. Numerous aspects of flying the helicopter were tried, banking turns are great fun. At the end we tried hovering and this was described as the most challenging manoeuvre - no kidding. The bit that threw me was pushing on the left pedal would spin the helicopter to the left instead of the right (which my brain was subconsciously expecting, from all my skiing perhaps?) so that made things interesting. But that's also good, as that ended the day with a clear challenge yet to overcome... I came away with a great photo as well which was a nice bonus. Highly recommended.

Raymond Baker

Thank you so much for such an amazing flight from Henstridge Airfield. I was a little worried that I was going to be late as there was some confusion with where exactly at Henstridge Airfield to go. All became clear and the process of checking in, the safety briefing and boarding the aircraft was Seamless. The ground staff were very professional and treated me with care. Thank you Captain Jules Fellows, for your comments on the local landmarks and amazing flight.
