Fly Alongside a Spitfire
Just seeing the Spitfire take off or pass overhead is special to behold. But with a fly alongside, you have the opportunity to see a Spitfire up close in its element in a truly awe-inspiring experience.
See the Spitfire like never before
From your seat in our GA8 Airvan, you and our other passengers will be intercepted and joined by one of our single-seat Spitfires, flying just metres away. From close formation, the Spitfire will perform a break, showing you its iconic silhouette, and then a flyby demonstrating a glimpse of its speed and manoeuvrability. This is an unparalleled opportunity to be with a Spitfire in flight, forming a unique and lasting memory. Note: Booking a fly alongside experience in the Airvan isn’t the same as selecting the chase plane add-on to accompany a two-seater Spitfire experience.

CAA approval

Spitfires.com has been approved by the United Kingdom’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to carry paying passengers in our GippsAero Airvan G-IPPS through the issuance of an ‘A to A’ Air Operators Certificate (AOC). This is the same approval type issued to UK airlines, but comes with a few limitations. Flights can’t travel more than 50 nm from the point of take off, must land at the same airfield they took off from, and can only operate during the day in good flying conditions.
