An amazing experience, and huge thanks to the very patient Pilot A. Gordon who made it seem like I was the only 'student' all day. Was worth the wait after 3 previous cancellations, and leave lots of time as I was 3rd after the group safety briefing. Very courteous and friendly ground crew. (Didn't manage to see the photos taken as the crew car was locked).
Tom was an excellent pilot and he explained all the aspects of the helicopter flight throughout the journey. His knowledge and competence was very reassuring and he answered questions as well. The whole experience was very exhilarating and I would recommend Adventure experiences 001 to friends and family.
What a great day. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff and were very well looked after throughout. The flight itself was amazing and everything was explained well. The instructor was nice and relaxed and put us at ease which really made the experience more enjoyable.
My wife had the 20 minute trial flight and had a great experience, everyone was super helpful and friendly and ran really smoothly. Thank you!
Although weather not great. Still fine views over Tyneside. Tony Austin.
My partner bought me a 20 minute trial helicopter flying lesson for my 60th birthday. We had a fantastic time, the staff were so friendly and fabulous with all safety talks and instructions carried out in a very professional, efficient and clear manner. It was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend. Big thanks to all at adventure001 for such a great opportunity and making everything so easy from booking to the actual flight.
Our pilot Captain Alex House went above and beyond to give us the most wonderful flight over Hadrian’s Wall. He altered both the date and time of day of our flight to afford us the best weather to fully appreciate the spectacular views of the many incredible remains of the Wall and the forts and mile castles along it’s length. Our trip took us all the way from Newcastle to Bowness on Solway back to Wallsend and back to the airport. We gratefully appreciate his efforts to avoid the bad weather.
Excellent service from arrival to departure, wish I had extended the flight time
My birthday treat (delayed from August 2024) was thrilling! 12 miles around Sandown, Shanklin and over The Bay (Isle of Wight) on a lovely mainly sunny day. Marvellous! Fizz and chocolates too! My only criticism is that it was over far too soon!
Fantastic flight in helicopter G-LEEZ with Captain Jules Fellows.
Excellent skipper, very very smooth flight, not easy in the gusty conditions!
Fantastic experience, my first time in a helicopter. The team were so polite, friendly and efficient throughout. Really enjoyed the flight - being in the passenger seat at the front made all the difference. Thanks to all involved.
Fantastic flight in helicopter G-BYBI with Captain Stewart Smith.
Thank you for a spectacular flight from Biggin Hill over London this afternoon. The ground crew and pilot were great, made us feel right at home. The helicopter was very comfortable and much quieter than my last flight 30 years ago. A thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience
A brilliant 75th birthday present from my husband. Enjoyed every minute. The staff were amazing and the views superb. Only regret was that it didn't last long enough.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the crew at Sandown, IOW. Both ground team and pilot were incredible friendly, clear, and informative. I’m glad I opted for IOW rather than the mainland as the views from flight along the coastline are something I’ll never forget. Will definitely be returning.
We had a brilliant flight. The team were professional and well organised. Would love to a longer flight one day.
Wonderful experience, so much so I cannot wait to go again with my son. The staff were brilliant and put us at ease each step of safety, and when boarding the helicopter. Luckily we got to have extra time on our trip with a lovely lady and her son ( he was hoping to become a pilot in the future and had achieved his exams to pursue his dreams) Such a lovely day if anything, you would be missing such an insight to the beauty of Cornwall if you missed this opportunity. Another one off my bucket list thankyou X
Amazing helicopter flight from Cotswolds airport - a once in a lifetime experience
Ground team friendly and helpful, safety instructions clear and simple. Pilot totally professional and supportive. At no point was there any uncertainty or confusion. Enhanced by a sunny almost wind free day. As I anyway was concentrating, the flight time did not seem that short either. Thoroughly recommend. The only suggestion would be a[some?] road sign to get you to the registration centre
