What Our Customers Say  

“Absolutely fantastic experience! The team at Ethel Dares are super friendly, knowledgable and really help to make it an unforgettable day. (I won’t say once in a lifetime, as I’ve flown with Martyn twice now and I’m sure there will be more!). If you’ve had a taster wing walk, I definitely recommend taking the next step and going for the aerobatics - wow!!!!! Thanks all!”

— Jack Lewin.

“I had an amazing time! The whole team gave me a sense that they take safety seriously while also making sure I was fully briefed. They answered everyone's questions so by the time I approached the plane I was totally relaxed about what I was about to do. I love, love, loved it from start to finish. Is it scary? I am not scared of heights or of taking measured risks, so no, I didn't find it scary. Exhilarating, but not scary 😊 Great bunch of people!”

"Saturday was my second wing-walk experience on Ethel Dares with Classic Wings. Every step of the way from booking the date, through the health and safety briefings, the wonderful team (Martin, Steven, Helen to name a few!) to the flights themselves were AMAZING! Loved every minute - could have stayed up there forever! Doing this has been a dream of mine since I was 17 and to be in the hands of this team fulfilled every part of that. Thank you!"
