Flying training began here in 1940, when RAF pilots learned to fly Hurricanes and Spitfires in the skies above Goodwood. Building on the achievements of these young men, our Aerodrome remains a centre of excellence for flying and engineering, offering exceptional tuition and flying experiences.

On Tuesday 20th July 2021, the Goodwood aviation community suffered an immeasurable loss with the passing of Rob Wildeboer, the Goodwood Flying School Manager, after a sudden illness.
To remember and honour Rob, in accordance with the wishes of his family, a number of scholarships will be offered through Goodwood Flying School, made possible by kind donations from the community.
Formerly known as RAF Westhampnett, the airfield has been located here since the Second World War, when it served as a satellite airfield to nearby RAF Tangmere. Its West Sussex location makes it the south coast’s focal point for flying excellence and gives pilots and their passengers a bird’s-eye view over the Solent and the Isle of Wight.
