THE BEST VALUE WARBIRD FLIGHTS IN THE UK!
THE FIGHTER MISSION – £1,499.00
The Fighter Mission is our premium one-hour T-6 Harvard warbird experience—built for customers who want maximum hands-on flying, deeper immersion, and a true fighter-style mission profile.
This is not a short “ride”. You’ll sit down with your instructor, plan the sortie, then fly a real WWII-era advanced trainer for extended periods—before finishing with a full aerobatic sequence inspired by the training taught to fighter pilots in the 1940s (subject to weather, aircraft serviceability and operational constraints).
If you want the most time at the controls—this is it.
What’s Included in The Fighter Mission: 1-hour mission profile (60 minutes)
A full 60-minute flight—our longest and most immersive option. More time means more learning, more handling, and a complete mission-style sortie.
Route planning session (pre-flight briefing): Before engine start you’ll sit with your instructor to plan the route and mission profile—covering headings, altitude, phases of flight, and what to expect at each stage.
Hands-on flying time: Once airborne, you’ll take the controls for extended periods, experiencing how the Harvard feels in climb, cruise, turns and fighter-style handling—with coaching throughout.
Full aerobatic sequence (WWII-style training): You’ll experience a complete aerobatic demonstration that may include: Loop, Aileron Roll, Barrel Roll, Cuban Eight
Manoeuvres are subject to conditions, passenger comfort and operational limitations.
Combat-style evasive manoeuvres: Your instructor will also demonstrate evasive manoeuvres used in fighter training—designed to replicate the intensity and decision-making of WWII-era air combat.
A proper flying lesson you can log: This experience qualifies as an Air Experience Flight (PPL Exercise 3) and can be logged in your pilot logbook.
Photographs with the aircraft: Take photos before and/or after the flight with the aircraft—perfect for gifts, special occasions and lifelong memories.
