Andrew White

An amazing experience! Staff were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and did their upmost to make the day an absolute joy.

Natalie Crowther

Absolutely amazing day! First of all the waiting area was super modern and clean! We were briefed and made to feel comfortable. It was touch and go as to wether we could fly that day as the wind was high but we did. The pilot was so welcoming and made you feel comfortable and safe. The actual experience was out of this world. Words cant really describe the feeling unless you actually do it yourself but it was AMAZING! All the staff helping were super friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone!! (Brave enough)

Daf Roberts

What an Amazing experience the event was, from booking to leaving the venue was smooth... even the landing. Staff were helpful and reassuring , a lovely lounge whwre you could relax and have a Beverage and some light snacks. Would highly recommend

Catherine Dodds

A fantastic experience! The staff were so friendly, welcoming and reassuring. The day was extremely well-organised and all the information needed was clearly presented. I would definitely recommend!

Jan Mustchin

A truly amazing experience. The Wingwalk crew were extremely friendly and helpful, and the day proved to be a great success for my charity - Cancer Support Yorkshire.

Wendy Smith

A really great time! Everyone was so friendly and professional. The flight was amazing, and I'm glad we took the option of having the video and the T-shirt!

Fiona Thomson

Wow what an amazing experience, had a wonderful exhilarating flight. Even got extra few minutes as had to wait on a plane landing. Loved every minute of it. Brilliant friendly and knowledgeable staff. Can't recommend the team highly enough at Leeds East Airport. Looking forward to the video and photos arriving so I can relive the experience. Thank you so munch to all the team.

Phil Shield

I received a wing walking experience gift from a very good friend for my 60th birthday with into the blue. I must say it was one of the best things I have ever done, the staff are really amazing and very informative, the reception area is great. But the wing walk itself just blew my socks off Talk about being free as a bird you are actually up there with them soaring like an Eagle, diving and twisting in the sky. Highly recommended this fabulous experience. Cannot wait to do it again.

Patricia McClure

I enjoyed absolutely every minute of the experience! The cafe was excellent too, we had a delicious lunch beforehand, and it was great to have free parking too.

Steph Mellor

What an amazing morning! The staff on site were friendly, informative and professional. If anyone is thinking of wing walking then I would definitely recommend Wing Walk Yorkshire. Unfortunately the pandemic and then bad weather meant having to cancel on 2 previous occasions but rebooking was easy and the person on the telephone so apologetic about the previous cancellation. As for the experience of wing walking - incredible. I'm saving up to do another as soon as possible. This was the best gift I have ever received and I'm looking forward to reliving it when my video arrives. Thank you to all the team at Wing Walk Yorkshire.

Gail Johnson

WOW! What an experience, I loved every minute. The team at Leeds East were absolutely amazing, a lovely trio, inspiring confidence and fully explaining every bit of the wing-walk in the induction. The pilot was brilliant, he asked if I liked roller coasters which I do, so he did some tricks - flying vertical then plummeting, so you are weightless at the peak which was awesome. I opted for the video/ photo package, it hasnâ€™t arrived yet, but the pilot set off loads of smoke which will look fabulous on the photos. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough, itâ€™s a big tick on my bucket list. Leeds East is a lovely small airfield with a nice cafe - my friends had a cooked breakfast, whilst I was doing the induction, and said it was really good. Thank you for an amazing experience xx

Amy

Brilliant experience! Staff at the Leeds site were amazing, so calming and friendly. I was a bag of nerves but they were so reassuring, from the lady on the snack desk, to the chap who did the induction and the pilot also. Honestly couldn't recommend this more. As a side note, I accidentally booked the wrong site initially and Into the Blue very easily changed it for me. That was stress free after I realised my mistake! Overall, a great experience, and visitors so welcome too so you can have your support network with you if you're scared like me!

Valerie Appleton

Excellent day. Staff were friendly and efficient. From childhood and now in my 79th year, my day had finally arrived. I was fundraising for a local charity for Special Needs Children. I wore my tutu and the pilot made it a super set off with loads of smoke. The kids loved it. Dreams came true and now the money to send these kids on an adventure holiday. Will be back for my 80th but next time I want to" Loop the Loop", Truly amazing day.

Amanda Whitehead

After 16 years waiting to Wing Walk I can safely say that it was amazing. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, they made the feeling of excitement come alive even more. The flight was incredible (in between breaths!). I would certainly do it again and it has inspired some of my friends / family to take the same brave leap Thank you for an exceptional experience and something worthwhile for my recent fundraising project

Amy Evans

Staff absolutely brilliant from the lady at the cafÃ© desk, to the induction chap and the pilot. All amazing.

A long time getting there but what an experience fantastic day for me and my family. The venue was great and staff were very helpful and friendly.

Ayesha

Awesome!!

Mark little

Excellent day

Russell Field

Absolutely brilliant. Staff were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Being a bit of an adrenaline junkie I was a bit sad that I could not do a loop the loop etc. on the first flight. Suppose I'll just have to get saving up again for flight number two

Kevin McKeown

Very Good, everything went perfectly even though we had to change airfields Pilot was brilliant as was all the staff.

Megan

Gillian Rothwell

Bought it as a gift for my partner. He loved it an obviously wants to do it again

Dave

Amazing experience and would love to do it again!! Thanks for fulfilling a life long dream!

Jacqueline Roberts

This was the most amazing experience ever, I want to do it again and again. The staff on the day were excellent and informative, ready to answer any questions I had.I was worried about getting on and off the wing but needn't have as the staff were reassuring and the young man taking me on and off was very clear with his instructions and patient with me. My advice to anyone who is thinking about this is go and do it you won't regret it. I also made around Â£700 sponsorship money for a greyhound rescue charity. A good day all round.

Felice Miniello

If you like adrenalin fuelled experiences then you need to put this one to the top of your list. I did this Wing Walk in Sept 2017 at Chiltern Aerodrome, and had an amazing time. All the staff there were brilliant, from Tracey who inducted me, Christiana who strapped me to the rig, Allan who set up the camera, and Mike the pilot that filled me in with the flight procedure. A truly amazing experience that i would thoroughly recommend. Many thanks Felice Miniello (Phil)

My husband Geoff did the wingwalk 13/05/2017. He has Alzheimer, he did to raise money for side by side service which he gets a volunteer to go and do the things he likes to do, run by Alzheimer society. To say he enjoyed his wingwalk, he was elated, he is still smiling. The staff and pilot were great

gillatkinson

the staff at Brieghton were lovely and really made the day. The whole experience was amazing. I would definately recommend it. Gill

Lesley

Best thing I have ever done. The booking process was straightforward, the people on the day made you feel welcome, safe and made sure you had fun. The pilot was fantastic and when he knew I was enjoying it made sure he got as much out of it as possible for me.

stephen covell

Wonderful experience,very well organised,would definitely recommend to a friend.thank you very much.

Georgina Lovewell

It was a wonderful experience. Very well organised. Flight was just right amount of time. There was a nice cafe at the venue. The staff were very helpful. The pilot was very friendly & made me feel safe in his care

David

I loved the wing walking and have the video to prove it! Mike was brilliant. He was so friendly and professional, immediately putting me at ease and then giving me a wonderful flight. I was joined by family and friends and everyone had a great time. There was so much more going on than we had expected, a particular highlight was the arrival of the Russian trainer plane that did a loop the loop before landing, show off. I am terrible at remembering names but I think it was Kate who welcomed us all and gave me my pre-flight briefing. She couldnâ€™t have been nicer. I would recommend to anyone.

Rosemary Booth

Great day and a great experience. very professional all round.

Maureen

Although my first date was cacelled due to the weather, I met the pilot and his wife and they quickly sorted out an alternative date. I had huge trust in Mike, the pilot, and found the whole experience amazing and felt very safe. My husband and some friends came to see me and they had a good time too. I'd do this again!

Sharon Camopone-Evans

What an absolutely outstanding experience, I have a fear of heights and Mike and Jenny really put me at ease. The experience itself was fabulous and worth every penny. I'd recommend this for anyone.

Dan Scheer

Absolutely fantastic experience. Not cheap but well worth every penny. Mike did a great job making me feel comfortable and safe throughout the whole trip. Would highly recommend it!

John Ault

Everyone was very friendly. What a great day! You have to try it!

Peter Barnes

A first class experience in every respect. A professional and friendly team who couldn't have done more to make it a truly enjoyable and memorable event.

Ella Purves

This was an expensive activity but well worth it. It is something I will remember forever. Mike could not have done anything better and put me at my ease. I was blown away by the wing walk and hope to do it again someday - if the lottery comes up!!

Stephen Hall

very good morning i would recommend to any one, but in my eyes skydiving is better.

Bette McLean

An absolutely brilliant experience. Mike was terrific, I wasn't nervous at all, but had I been his calm and easy going demeanour would have set me at ease immediately. Can not praise this highly enough.

Glenn Jessop

Absolutely amazing experience. A little longer up in the air would have brilliant, and the ability to take your own gopro would be better, but the onboard cams gave an excellent representation. Would defo recommend and can't wait to upgrade next time to the acrobatic experience.

Rita Hooper

Had an amazing day. Enjoyed every minute. Something I always wanted to do and loved it. Everything explained clearly and staff could not have been more helpful.
