“best day ever”
I went on the top gun virgin experience day at Goodwood The staff were excellent and put your mind at ease. They explained the experience we were about to have. in a calm and collected manner. This took around 20 minutes, you then put on flight overalls and picked your name tag. ( i choose Prowler) we then walked to our planes with our pilots and took off . in 5 minutes i was flying the plane myself. i cant explain the the thrill but it will stay with me forever. My pilot was excellent.

What happens on the day?
After a full and thorough safety briefing, your ex-military instructors will demonstrate a formation take-off and close formation manoeuvring before teaching you how to fly aerobatics yourself. You will be able to give the aerobatics a shot in an ex-military T67 Firefly plane which is a piston engined, propeller-driven aircraft.
After you have settled into those you will be shown how to tail chase and perform air combat. Your flight will be tailored to you so it will be as mild or as wild as you dare.
