Chipmunk Flight Experiences

See Newcastle and Northumberland from another aviation classic - the de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk.

Replacing the Tiger Moth as the RAF's primary training aircraft in 1950, you can follow in the footsteps of royalty as HRH Prince Philip took his first flying lesson in a Chipmunk in 1952 and King Charles received his initial military pilot training in a Chipmunk.

Individual Chipmunk introductory flight experiences

30 minutes: £199

60 minutes: £299

During your 30 or 60 minute individual introductory flight experiences in our Chipmunk, G-BYSJ, you can take in the views of Northumberland's historic castles, breathtaking beaches or the famous landmarks on Newcastle's skyline.

de Havilland Days 

30 minutes in each aircraft: £449

60 minutes in each aircraft: £799

Why not join us for the ultimate de Havilland experience on our de Havilland Days? Get the best of both worlds of open and closed cockpit flying with our experienced pilots. Fly in the front seat of one our stunning Tiger Moths. Once you've landed and recovered from the exhilaration of open cockpit flying, hop into the back seat of our Chipmunk so you can see the difference for yourself during your second flight of the day.
