Testimonials

We love giving people a great experience when it comes to flying in small aeroplane for the first time – check out what some of our passengers have had to say!

M Farrell, Chippenham, UK

I’d never flown in a motor glider or small aeroplane before and when I was offered the chance to take my first flying lesson over Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire I jumped at the chance. My pilot was friendly and helpful, and took the time to make sure I was comfortable and knew what was going on at all times. I couldn’t believe how smoothly he landed the plane too! I’m now considering going for my pilots licence and definitely coming back for the summer to have another go!

D Moloney, Wiltshire

I took the plunge to get my Pilot’s Licence and visited Oxfordshire Sport Flying after a friend recommended them to me. I found them extremely warm, welcoming and friendly to pilots and non-pilots alike. They have been brilliant instructors and have really helped me to get more from my powered flying. I can’t recommend them enough.

J Williams, Gloucester

I’ve been gliding for years but never really got into the x-country scene and then realised how much I was missing out! My local gliding club advised the best bet to was to do my Cross Country Endorsement over at Enstone airfield, with Oxfordshire Sport Flying. Really friendly instructors who took the time to ensure I was properly trained and fully conversant with navigating my way around in their Diamond Dimona motor glider. I came away feeling I’d learnt lots!

We're also thrilled to pass on our knowledge and skills and teach others how to fly:

Gemma from Experience Days

As we took off from the ground, the feeling was incredible: a mixture of uncertainty, nervousness, and a whole lot of excitement! Once comfortably in the sky, we zoomed past the beautiful sights of Oxfordshire including a glimpse of Blenheim Palace. The beautiful scenic views were astonishing and something I will never forget…

J Smythe – from Oxfordshire

An excellent trial ﬂight with a very knowledgeable instructor. Has made me seriously consider taking this further.

C McKathery – West Sussex

Great fun! I was originally nervous but the pilot was super friendly and settled any nerves! Before I knew it I had the stick and was ﬂying the plane! The views were exquisite I even had a tour of the area with the pilot knowing lots of facts… !

P Powell – from Oxfordshire

Awesome experience, great welcome, best of aeroplanes, could not fault anything.
