Christine Thompsett

Great experience, thank you to Captain Kai who was hilarious throughout and the made the experience all the better!

Darius

Fantastic experience. Kai was very polite and professional, explaining what was involved and pointing out various landmarks. He let me take the controls for some of the journey and we even got to fly over my house. I have to do this again!

Marian Pearson

Fantastic

Paul

Perfectâ€¦ What else is there to say? Kai is an excellent pilot and made me feel at home from the start, explaining everything in terms a layman would understand. Felt safeâ€¦ enjoyed the view and would not hesitate to go up again.

max wakefield

This is such an inspiring introduction to gyrocopters. I intend to continue to a license and ownership. This would not have happened if I hadn't had this experience.

Ronnie Pearson

A very exciting and interesting adventure. Kye was extremely professional, polite and helpful .

louis clarke

Excellent Gyrocopter flight in a open top autogyro on a lovely sunny day with some brilliant views and sites .I really enjoyed this flight and had a very helpful pilot (kai i believe) who made sure i was safe and happy . I cannot recommend these people enough and anybody wants a flight experience in something different .

John Tuttle

Very enjoyable autogyro flight, could not do the Dover flight due to air restriction caused by Drones being operated in that area. W down by the Isle of Sheppey followed the river Medway and towards Whitstable before turning back to the air field. I was not disappointed at all and enjoyed all the sights pointed out by Kai who very informative.

Mike Hughes

What an excellent hour of autogyro flight. Theory fully explained, kitted out with helmet headphones, gloves etc. Flight took us over Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and back over the downs. Once we turned for home, after some instruction, I was handed the controls until just before we were overhead Rochester airfield. What an exhilarating experience on a clear day with visibility above 50 miles. Pilot was chatty, explained everything and answered many questions. Intercom was clear. A flight I will never forget

stuart arbuckle

Great experience was had, from the facilities at the airport to Kai the instructor. Just a fun great day out with some great sites to be viewed

Ian Gorrie

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Very well looked after by Kai. 1/2 hour of magic

Dawn gregg

Amazing experience Had a great time and would love to do it again! If you want a gift your loved one will never forget then I highly recommend a gyrocopter flight

Steve Wadman

This was one of the most exciting things I have ever done in my life, and Iâ€™ve done a few- riding a motorcycle up the highest motor able road in the world - the Kardingla Pass in the Himalayas!! This experience was so different and great fun. Kai was excellent and made the flight a real pleasure. Brilliant

Mikalai

Very happy with my experience. Amazing service with best flight instructor (Kai) I ever met. Definitely will recommend to all my friends.

Chris Punter

Amazing! Open cockpit, no fuselage or wings to obscure your view, fantastic experience! A must for any bucket list!

Richard

Excellent flight. First time in a Gyroplane and it couldnâ€™t have gone better. Well looked after by the Pilot, Kai, who had good knowledge of the landmarks and put me at total ease so I could enjoy the magnificent scenery. Highlight of the trip was hovering near to a colony of seals basking on a distant sandbank. Couldnâ€™t have asked for more and would recommend both the activity and Kai to anyone who wants a fun experience they will always remember.

Linda Duckworth

Really great experience, everything from booking it to the experience was straightforward and easy. Would definitely recommend.

William Pettit

An amazing experience. Kai, the pilot, was pleasant and reassuring explaining all aspects of the flight and what to expect. During the flight he constantly checked if I was ok and pointed out landmarks. Unique experience for a 70 year old!

William Pettit

A unique experience. Kai, the pilot, was very professional in his briefings and explanations of what to expect. After being strapped in, he explained the 'take off' procedure so you were totally aware of what was happening. The views over North Kent were fabulous and Kai pointed out many points of interest. He also checked regularly if I was OK. A memorable experience. Thank you

Julie

Brilliant experience. Had I little difficulty getting into the gyrcoptor as my back was a little sore but hubby help . Once in it was comfortable .more than an open cockpits microlight .it is very open but you have a harness and a helmet with cons to pilot. Seat was comfortable and the views are amazingly.you get the option to try and fly .I didn't,but hubby had a go . We would both do this again. The pilot was very nice and felt safe though out

A Russell

Great experience!!!! Kai was friendly and very informative and made the trip memorable. Have done a number of flights in various craft but this ranks as one of the best.

steve Taylor

one of the best things I have done. next time I will book the 90min flight, as the hour was over to quick thanks Kai

Leah

Amazing! Felt so surreal, loved every second! Definitely recommend! Book the half hour slot if you can as it goes so quick!

Malcolm

Best ever way to fly for 90 minutes on a great route, great value for money and beats Hang gliders, Helicopters, Solo Skydive ( only as itâ€™s over too quickly ), single prop Plane ( excepting a Spitfire or a fighter Jet over Mach 2 )

Norm

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Kai was very informative and easy going. I felt in really safe hands and his commentary was great. I want to go again but for an hour next time! Thanks Kai

Bob Cooper

Brilliant. Smooth ride and a very good pilot. I enjoyed every second.

Barry Kafka

This was a really exciting introduction and joy-ride in this small aircraft. The pilot was careful to explain everything and to offer me control. We had an enjoyable 1 hour flight around Rochester in lovely weather. As we cruised at around 1,000 ft the view was fantastic.

Steven

Fantastic experience! Very flexible, patient organiser.

Geoff Youd

What a fantastic experience !

Mike Wood

After having participated in a number of up-in-the-air experiences, ranging from hot-air ballooning through gliding and flying a Cesna by way of micro-lighting (both weight-shift and 3-axis), I would say that this topped them all. Nothing like throttling back at 1,000 feet and simply stopping! A really immediate true flying experience!

Petr Groyzman

Brilliant, loads of fun

Leslie

Really great experience would highly recommend the gyrocopter flight

R Johnson

whoo, from start to finish,i felt valued,he made the experience very enjoyable, although i would have enjoyed more time at the controls,with that said looking forward to doing it again

jeff Tyrell

A very different flying experience, superb fun, would certainly do it again.

Mervyn Wood

A truly memorable experience

Nigel Gray

First class experience, knowledgeable pilot, second time thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience

raph

A great adventure in a strange and wonderful aircraft. Highly recommended.

Richard

A superb day out flying with Kai. The gyrocopter was amazing and his guidance during the experiance was fantastic. Would highly recommend!

Fiona Drewitt

The whole experience was amazing. The pilot of the gyrocopter was knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer all my questions. The flight was a perfect amount of time (60 mins) and the takeoff/landing were very smooth. I'd highly recommend this to family and friends.

Andrew Blackburn

It was a really thrilling experience, I would recommend it to anybody providing they're not frightened of heights!

Linda

Fantastic flight, considering the windy conditions it was a very smooth flight. Kai the instructor was experienced and excellent. Had go at flying the gyrocopter loved it. All in all a brilliant experience.

Ian Wilson

Superb flight. The pilot put me completely at ease by explaining the unique technology, then gave a highly amusing and informative commentary all the way down to Dover and back. Loved the whole experience!!

Ken

It was a fantastic experience. Kai was obviously a very experienced gyrocopter pilot. He explained the workings of the gyro and chatted most of the time we were in the air, provided some local history and even gave me a turn at the controls. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Gillian Bray

Loved everything about it. The instructor was excellent and the experience extremely enjoyable. More relaxing than I thought it would be!

Ben Daniels

I can recommend a Gyrocopter flight for sure! Flying over my local and surrounding areas, and spotting my house and children's school was amazing. Took my Go Pro to take footage, so the kids really enjoyed seeing it. A great experience and well worth the money.

david martin

The pilot K Maurer gave me a guided tour of the aircraft, made sure I was comfortable and then gave me a choice of sights to see from the air. I chose Leeds Castle, then Rochester Cathedral and Keep seen from the River Medway During my 30 minute flight I was given opportunity to take control. I would like to do this again.

gerald ellard

i had a fantastic trip with kai in his autogiro, it was even better than i imagined it could be. many thanks

John Mansell

Whatever your favourite superlative is it can be applied to this experience! Captain Kai added immeasurably to the enjoyment - his knowledge,enthusiasm and encouragement,together with his ability to put all this across to me made it an experience I want to repeat - thanks Kai.

Carolyn Wren

An absolutely wonderful experience. I was excited before the flight yet it was SO much better than I had anticipated! Kai was a great instructor and his knowledge of the area we covered was very special. Just take all the superlatives and put them in a list !! This will not only appeal to the youngsters ...... I am nearly 72 yrs old and have already made recommendations to neighbours.

Dean Gray

Fantastic trial flight' Many thanks Kai, your the main man. Dean,

David Clegg

Kai was an excellent, charming, knowledgeable and personable gentleman who made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. He was keen to share his experience and enthusiasm for Autogyros and answered every question I asked, clearly and concisely. As a beginner I was grateful that we took a gentle flight and I was pleased to note that Kai paid attention to my comfort and enjoyment throughout the experience. I would certainly recommend him as an instructor should you wish to obtain your own licence. On a slightly unhappy note, I would have been grateful if the air traffic controller had proactively explained to me the rules to flyers whom are new to aviation, are obliged to respect when visiting their airport rather than complaining retro-spectiely as this would have been a far more polite and effective means of addressing the issue. It should be obvious to him that new visitors to the airport would be interested in investigating the facilities and observing the planes as, this interest is what would have prompted many of them to book in the first place I would certainly rebook with Kai, thanks for a great day.

Nigel Gray

Absolutely brilliant had an amazing time. The best.

David Free

Kai the Flight Instructor was terrific and an excellent instructor and communicator. The experience of the open cockpit MTO sport was amazing and very easy to fly. Even if you have been in light aircraft or helicopters before this is an experience not to miss.

Jon Bates

Really enjoyable experience, thank you Kai

Jacky Carter

The instructor was brilliant, obviously knowledgable about the gyro copter, as you would expect. Put me at my ease as soon as I arrived, we chatted like old friends during the flight. Well worth the price, I either have to buy one or get my husband to take a flight!!

Charles little

I had a great time kai is spot on would recommed this activity any time

paul jelliss

fantastic experience, pilot Kai is a great bloke very friendly and informative. got to handle the controls for most of the flight. would recommend to anyone. best flying experience I've had and I've tried most of them.

Jillian edwards

It was an amazing experience,Kai was so informative about what we were doing where we were going I had the best birthday

Sally Griffiths

Beautiful views over river and land, and excellent commentary by pilot Ki. Beautifully constructed gyroplane which is very stable and can fly by rotor even without engine! Open cockpit very cold up there!

John Perrett

Neil Capeling

06 August 2024

Fantastic!! First booking was cancelled unfortunately because of bad weather, but a second date was quickly arranged for the following weekend. Kai, the gyro captain, made me feel very welcome. He explained in detail everything I asked and soon we were airborne!! He asked where I lived and I directed him over my house, then on for a brilliant tour of Leeds Castle and I took controls over to the Isle of Sheppey. It was a brilliant day and cannot recommend it highly enough ! A magical experience which I will definitely book again !!

Geoff Lowton

I have wanted to fly in an Gyrocopter for more than I can remember and was a surprise gift from my lovely wife. The flight was unbelievable and the Pilot put me at ease and explained everything in detail pointing out all the landmarks as we went. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting an adrenaline rush.
