C47 Dakota Taxi Ride

The Dakota or C47 Skytrain is one of the most iconic and revered aircraft of all time and was cited by General Dwight Eisenhower as one of the “tools of victory” that won World War II. It is one of those aircraft that was so well designed that it is hard to think of another aircraft that could replace it even today.

Aero Legends operate two examples and are excited to give you the opportunity to experience what it is like to taxi and get up to almost take off speed in one of them. You can imagine that you are heading out to the Normandy Invasion beaches (Operation Overlord) or Arnhem (Operation Market Garden) or crossing the Rhine (Operation Varsity).

We have offered this experience occasionally at events and it has proven to be extremely popular so we are now offering it more widely. You wont be disappointed so book HERE!

Aero Legends Congratulates Flt Lt Charlie Brown on Surpassing 2000 Spitfire Hours! 🎉✈️

We are thrilled to celebrate a truly remarkable milestone: Flt Lt Charlie Brown, Aero Legends’ Head of Training, has officially surpassed 2000 flying hours in Spitfires! 👏

Charlie joined the RAF in 1981 and has had an extraordinary flying career, including time in Tornados, Jet Provosts, and has spent the last few decades as a highly skilled civilian display pilot.

As one of the world’s most experienced Spitfire pilots, Charlie’s dedication to preserving aviation history is an inspiration. Whether training the next generation of aviators or flying with Aero Legends, his passion and skill embody the very spirit of these legendary aircraft.

Thank you, Charlie, for your unmatched expertise and for sharing your love of flying with all of us. Here’s to many more hours in the skies!
