Fly a Spitfire Experiences

Aero Legends allows customers to take part in a flight aboard a Spitfire.

Before the flight, participants receive a briefing covering the aircraft, equipment and safety procedures.

Customers can discuss their planned flight route with an RAF-trained pilot.

Depending on the flight, participants may experience aircraft manoeuvres and aerobatics.

Some routes allow manoeuvres above the airfield, where friends and family can watch.

Customers can also arrange cockpit video footage to record their flight.

The experience is designed for people who want to understand what flying in a wartime fighter aircraft feels like.

Spitfire Flight Locations

Aero Legends lists Spitfire experiences at three airfields.

North Weald Airfield in Essex provides access to routes around London and areas associated with the Battle of Britain.

The London Patrol experience includes views over the City of London and a flight around the local area.

The Battle of Britain experience also includes flights over several Battle of Britain airfields.

Another listed route is the White Cliffs of Dover experience.

Spitfire flights are also available from Compton Abbas Airfield in Dorset and Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent.

The different locations give customers several choices when planning their flight.

Formation Flights and Other Options

Aero Legends also provides formation flying experiences.

The Formation Spitfire Experience allows a friend or family member to fly in close formation during a Spitfire experience.

This gives two participants a way to share the flight while travelling in separate aircraft.
