Goodwood Aerodrome
An exhilarating flight of a lifetime...
Before you soar in the skies where the Battle of Britain was fought and feel the throaty roar of the 550hp aircraft engine, you will be immersed in the history of Goodwood's World War II airfield and the part this 1943 warbird played. Once airborne you will be given the chance to take the controls whilst your pilot explains some of the intricacies of flying this complex training aircraft.
What's included:
- Fly in a 1943 Harvard
- Full briefing with a highly qualified flying instructor
- Flight planning so you can fly over an area of your choice
- 45 minutes in the Harvard, 35 of which will be airborne
- Learning the basics of flying a Harvard
- Champagne lunch for two at the Members' Clubhouse, The Kennels

Spectators
There is plenty of space for friends and family to come and watch you take off and land. We do ask that children are supervised at all times.
Lunch at The Kennels
Once you have come back down to earth from your flight, enjoy lunch for two at the Members' Clubhouse, The Kennels, which is a short drive from Goodwood Aerodrome. Sip on a glass of Veuve Clicquot whilst sharing the tales of your experience, looking out onto the grounds of Goodwood House.
Please do let the Flying School know if you are bringing friends and family and we can book additional meals for you at The Kennels. Anything additional will need to be paid for on the day.

Harvard Flight
Just got home from the Harvard flight and I'm still buzzing!! Memorable doesn't come close to describing it. Allowed to take control on several occasions (well I think it was me) and my brilliant pilot Stuart performed some acrobatics that really rounded the flight off perfectly. Many thanks to everyone at the Goodwood Flying School, especially Stuart McKinnon If anyone's lucky enough to be bought this experience you will not be disappointed.
