Aerobatic Flight Experience
Overview
Attention thrill-seekers.
Experience the feeling of a ‘Barrel Roll’ or a ‘Loop the Loop’ during your flight at an experienced aviation centre. You will be a part of a spectacular display of grace and elegance, whilst viewing the world from a different angle and defying gravity. Sit back and enjoy the exhilaration as you encounter well-known aerobatic manoeuvres such as loops, rolls, stall turns, chandelles and steep turns.
You will fly at speeds of over 100mph, thousands of feet in the air and test your nerves in this adventurous, white knuckle ride.

What's Included
- Pre-flight briefing
- 25 to 30 minute flight from taxi to landing
- Experience gift pack including personalised voucher and message card
What happens on the day?
Your experience starts with the qualified instructor giving you a pre-flight briefing which will enable you to understand how the aircraft is capable of aerobatic flight. Once in the air, your instructor will accelerate the aircraft to over 100mph before starting a sequence of aerobatic manoeuvres, which may include loops, rolls, and wingovers. Due to the nature of this experience it is unlikely you will be able to take the controls, so just sit back and enjoy the ride. This experience is not for the faint hearted and is definitely not recommended with a hangover.
Please note that the manoeuvres described above are only an example of what you may experience and can differ depending on the location.

Seeing the world from a different angle
A great way to spend a summery late afternoon. John made sure I was safely strapped in, and off we taxied on the bumpy grass. Took off and flew over M25 towards Epsom for the real thrills to start. After checking we were at a safe height, we descended a little to gain speed for a loop the loop, followed by a barrel roll, stall turn and a spin, with a brief explanation before each manoeuvre. Then a leisurely return to Redhill over beautiful countryside with views across to London.

The most incredible experience of my life!!!!!
I absolutely loved every second of it!! From take off to landing and especially everything inbetween. I would do it again in a heartbeat. If your having second thoughts you needn't have. It will blow your mind in the best way possible. If you like roller-coaster rides you will adore this and even if you don't you will love it. My only regret was worrying slightly but it's normal I suppose. Go for it!!!!! P. S thanks vso very much Dave you were brilliant. I will never in my life forget it!!!!!!!!

Brilliant!
Fantastic experience! The pilot was brilliant and the aerobatics were incredible - like nothing I’ve ever done before though not for the fair hearted! Got plenty of time getting to fly the plane myself too which I didn’t expect.

Amazing experience highly recommended!!
I flew with pilot Steve Bradd who was very friendly, very informative and an amazing pilot!! Did stunts like loop-the-loop, barrel roll, nose dive plus many more. Steve taught me a lot about flying in this small amount of time (which feels much longer than 30 mins!) and even let me take the controls. One thing to be cautious of; the g-force is very strong! If you like roller coasters and thrill seeking then you will love this as much as I did. Awesome value. Will definitely do this again soon!

Birthday treat
From the moment I called Blackbushe Airport to book my flight I realised that I was dealing with a very well run business. Rob Curry, my pilot, was an ex-RAF Tornado fighter pilot! He was very relaxed and reassuring about what the flight entailed and assured me that it was my choice about the manoeuvres we flew or chose not to. I was allowed to taxi the plane to the runway and take-off as well as fly a loop-the-loop! The whole experience far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it!

FAB-U-LOUS AEROBATIC FLIGHT
I don't do reviews, but after my experience with Redhill Aviation yesterday, I felt I needed to. All the staff were brilliant, knowledgeable & helpful, I had the 30 min aerobatic flight, with my FAB pilot Simon, who made a thrilling experience even better, his piloting skills were superb, and spins, loops, 2 and 5g dives and climbs were fantastic.. We also paid for the Go Pro video option, which we thought was well worth the money, & have had so many comments from friends & family. Thank u all

Thrilling Day
The booking was very easy from start to finish; the voucher is clearly laid out and there are very friendly staff at the venue to take the booking and had no issues. The flight was thrilling with amazing views of the North Downs. The aerobatics were jaw dropping and I enjoyed every moment of it. The instructor was friendly and made me feel safe. You can also get a Go-Pro video of the flight for a very good price. The only minor issue was the voucher being sent to the wrong address initially

Great Gift
Bought as a present for my 16yr old son. Arranged flight via Redhill Aviation Centre. V well organised, no hanging around, easy to find and access and v helpful when booking/arranging the date. Son really enjoyed it, especially the barrel roll. His only complaint was that it was over too quickly - couldn't believe it lasted 30 mins! Amazing views of London apparently. Dad was a tad jealous!

Such an awesome experience
Wow.... what a great day to spend a sunny morning. I bought this experience for my girlfriend who knew nothing about it until we drove into the aero drone. She absolutely loved it and the pilot Simon was such a nice and funny guy. She did a 30 minute experience but will be back to do an hour. Overall 10/10 thanks guys

Wonderful, unforgettable experience at Redhill
Thank you to Simon and team at Redhill Aviation, I was smiling all the way home after my flight and for a long time afterwards. I had booked the half hour but Simon was able to upgrade the flight to a full hour. I have no regrets - it was 100% worth it..... Wow! We flew across to my local area and then performed the aerobatic manoeuvres which were stunning. Take a Go Pro as it's a lot to take in while you are up there and watching it back is incredible. Simon was brilliant. Thank you so much.

My Dad loved it!
I bought this for my dad for his 50th birthday. He is ex RAF and loves being in the air. We were met by a lovely man named Simon who was the pilot of the experience. They did barrel rolls, loops, spins ect! He came out with the biggest smile on his face! To the point he wants to go again.

Here we go loop-the-loop
There is something very special - and disconcerting - about seeing the ground rushing up towards you through the glass cockpit of a tiny plane. Upside down. It's like the most extreme rollercoaster ride you can imagine. Only better. I had an amazing time and Dirk, the pilot, was great company - he even let me fly the plane back to the airfield. The only problem? The stunts were all over far too quickly. This is a great gift for the adrenaline junkie in your life.

Aerobatic flight
This experience was payed for as a birthday gift, its not something I would usually do, I'm no adrenaline junkie .I arrived at the airfield thinking I was going to be a passenger.The flying instructor gave clear instruction on the basics of take off and how to perform a loop the loop. Which I did under supervision. At no time did I feel under pressure or stressed. The 30 minute lesson was continuosly being assessed by the instructor. I cannot believe what he helped me achieve. An amazing day.

My acrobatic flight was brilliant. Very well organised by Redhill Aviation team. The enthusiastic and friendly instructor, Dirk, took us through loads of manouvers peaking at 4g in one of them! He let me take control and what a wonderful thrill it was.

If you’re indecisive about whether to do this or not let me make this easy for you, do it!! Fantastic experience, my pilot was lovely and friendly. Explained everything and let me fly the plane before and after the aerobatics. I can’t say enough good things about this experience, it was so worth it and all the staff were great. Big shout out to Lawrence at Redhill though, thank you for a truly wonderful time! Mwah!

Aerobatic Flight
In sheer terror I was strapped into the cockpit but then spent the next half hour having the time of my life 4000 feet up in the air!! John, my pilot, talked me through every move and I ended up wanting to do it all again. A Big "Bucket List" Tick. Would recommend to anyone. Forget the Fear. Enjoy the Fun!!

Great fun exciting flight
This experience was more than expected. From turning up and meeting the staff and then my pilot who was so cool and experienced. The actual flight itself was amazing from start to finish. Not for the feint hearted but a thrill even though its over so quick. A much loved birthday present. Can't fault this experience at all, thanks for a great day.
