LAST-MINUTE CANCELLATION — TOMORROW, 9th SEPTEMBER

You only live once, and tomorrow, one lucky person could tick "fly a fighter jet" off their bucket list.

A rare opportunity has just opened up: one seat remains on our 35-minute BAC Strikemaster fighter jet experience at the legendary Mach Loop, tomorrow, Wednesday 9th September.

Tucked into the Welsh hills, the Mach Loop is legendary among aviation enthusiasts, a valley where military jets thread through the landscape at low level, close enough to feel the power of every pass. Now you can experience it not from the ground looking up, but from the cockpit of this ex-military jet itself. Thirty-five minutes of real aerobatic manoeuvres, breathtaking terrain, and a perspective very few people ever get to have.

Book this slot today and we'll include a complimentary in-flight GoPro video (worth £150) to take home, on us.

This weekend at North Weald, Aero Legends has had the privilege of flying one of the most recognisable Spitfires in the world, the Silver Spitfire, MJ271.

Built in 1943, this remarkable Mk IX is a genuine wartime veteran. Decades later, she made aviation history once again, becoming the first Spitfire to fly around the world.

Now, with Parky at the controls, she’s taking to the skies at North Weald as part of our Aero Legends passenger flying, giving our customers the chance to experience an extraordinary piece of aviation history in flight.

From those flying in the Silver Spitfire herself to customers watching her in the air from our Fly With a Spitfire helicopter experience, it has been a very special weekend at North Weald.
Some aircraft have a story. This one has travelled the world.

Today we're at North Weald, sharing once-in-a-lifetime experiences aboard Elizabeth, our beautiful Spitfire NH341, before heading up for an air-to-air photo shoot from a helicopter alongside a mirror-finish single-seat Spitfire.

Days like this are why we love what we do. Memories made with Aero Legends
