The owners and staff were amazing! They were friendly, welcoming and full of information about the planes and history behind them. The small WW2 museum room was very interesting and a really surprising addition to complete the experience. Wish I could give them 10 stars! Thank you to the team at Fairchild!

Super friendly staff, and showed us all behind the scenes. Dad was able to fly for about fifteen minutes himself. Great experience and he had the time of his life!

Rolled up I booked on a Sunday. Jim talked me through museum and phoned Terry the pilot. He arrived by which time we’d fuelled and warmed the aircraft then an hour flight including handling the controls. Excellent

Great day, very informative. We learned so much about the plane and how it was built and maintained. My son took the flight and cant say enough, it was amazing! We also enjoyed the extensive personal museum collection. Thank you, money well spent making memories.
