Get closer than ever to a Spitfire in flight - a breath-taking encounter flying alongside this legendary aircraft like never before.
Up to 6 passengers
Take off from the last remaining all-grass Battle of Britain airfield in our GA-8 Airvan and soar over the South Coast. Fly in formation with a legendary Spitfire, witnessing its power up close. After breaking formation, the Spitfire returns for a dramatic high-speed pass. This rare aerial experience is a powerful tribute to aviation history - one you’ll never forget.
The Gippsland Airvan GA-8 is a stable eight seat (six to seven passengers), high wing aircraft. Traditionally used for skydiving and utilitarian missions, our Airvan is quite the opposite. It has been kitted out with comfortable leather seats and modern David Clark headsets for every passenger.
With only 60-70 airworthy Spitfires left from 22,500 built, flying alongside one is a rare and unforgettable experience. The Fly Alongside features a Spitfire Mk IX expertly flown in close formation with the Airvan - a powerful tribute to freedom and sacrifice.
During WWII, Goodwood Aerodrome - then known as RAF Westhampnett - was an active fighter station, home to Spitfire squadrons that defended Britain’s skies. Today, the roar of Merlin engines still echoes across the airfield as restored Spitfires return to the very runways they once flew from.
