Anniversary Aerobatics


My husband, Keven, bought me this aerobatic experience as a combined 77th birthday/56th anniversary gift. I have enjoyed various off the wall activities over the years since retiring but this latest adventure with Craig topped them all. I will admit to feeling nervous beforehand, but as soon as I was strapped in to the Robin`s cockpit, Craig`s kindly reassurance put me at ease. He briefed me as we got airborne, describing each manoeuvre as he performed it and instructing me where to look as we were spinning, inverted, rolling and stalling. His professionalism was impressive throughout and I would recommend anyone considering trying aerobatics to fly with Craig!

Simply Stunning

Aerobatic Flying Experience with Cabaero Aviation

What an incredible experience.

My instructor Craig was friendly, thorough and very patient.

At the briefing he explained some of the incredible manoeuvres we were about to perform. I originally thought that he meant that he would be doing them and then I would get a little go at the end.

I was WRONG

Shortly after take off he asked me to start controlling the plane and gave simple to follow instructions on how to get the best out of the flight.

He had no problem repeating information as many times as I needed, which was quite a few when we were about to perform staggering rolls and loops.

The experience of being upside down in a plane and looking upwards to see the ground was amazing as we performed barrel rolls. I was so impressed with the stability of the plane and how it could be brought to heel even after an over correction.

Craig had no end of enthusiasm to offer new and exciting stunts but after the incredible full loop, which I loved, my stomach wasn’t ready to do another. Craig was incredibly supportive and said we would just do whatever I felt comfortable with and offered that we flew through holes in the clouds.

It was like playing a real life video game and was completely surreal. We flew around fluffy mountains and sneaked through little gaps. Rather daftly I always tried to keep my wing from touching the clouds because they seemed like solid mountains. Of course they weren’t and the fun just kept coming.

We climbed and banked, we dived and turned with me in command and Craig adding the gentle adjustments when required with his dual controls.

My confidence grew and I was soon chucking the plane around at speeds in excess of 150 mph - absolutely stunning.

If you listen to Craig with respect he will give you every opportunity to do things you could never have dreamed of. He even let me take the lead on the landing which I was very excited about and was a complete success thanks to his extra input.

Wow - I’m not sure that I’ve actually really come down to earth yet as the whole experience was that intense.

If you’ve ever, ever thought you might like to try this unbelievable experience I wholly recommend Craig and Cabaero Aviation
as your best point of call.

Thanks Captain. Top Gun - Top Fun

Over and out, But I will be back again very soon 😉

5* experience well worth it!!!

5* experience! Booked this as an anniversary present for my husband and he thoroughly enjoyed his experience! Craig is incredibly skilled and knew exactly what to do and once my husband was confident he was able to do some manoeuvres himself with Craigs guidance and honesty well worth it! Also was offered to be able to have video footage of the experience and honestly so happy we got this from Craig! Can actually show friends and family what he was able to do. Thank you so much Craig!

So much better than I expected!

So much better than I expected!
I was gifted an Aerobatic experience and so glad I chose to do it with Cabaero Aviation. They were so kind throughout, we moved the date a couple times but on the day we did it (Aug 2025) it was wonderful. Craig did a really good job too of calming my nerves with humour, informed me of everything we'd be doing and answered all my questions & feared excellently.

The aerobatic experience itself was unlike anything I've ever done before, I even got to fly the plane for a bit (probably the scariest part). I felt super safe, had huge adrenaline rushes and felt experienced some real high G force with spectacular views!

There really isn't anything like it I've ever done before, so if you're a newbie like I was I can only recommend it as they blew past my expectations so much I'm gifting some experiences to friends and family next!

Additionally, for those travelling from London, it's pretty easy to get to also. There are quite fast trains to Wellingborough or Northampton (from St Pancras & Euston) that get you very close. We made it in an hour!

Fantastic

What can I say, other than simply the best experience I've had. Craig was very informative and put me at ease from the moment I arrived and right through the flight. Would certainly recommend adding this to everyone's bucket list.

What an experience fulfilled by Cabaero …

Completed my 50th present today with Craig at Camaro Aviation with the most exhilarating experience of my life to date. Craig thoroughly explained what we would be doing when in the air so I fully understood what fun was ahead of me.
Excellent experience with an excellent company and pilot.

A terrific flight, friendly and very professional.

I had an absolutely brilliant flight today with my professional pilot for the trip, Craig, (owner of Cabaero) out of Sywell Aerodrome. I had a choice of several landmark destinations, I plumped for Silverstone Racetrack. I do have previous flight training experience, about twenty-five years or more ago with Hull Aero Club but I have not flown a fixed wing aircraft since then. As a result of my previous exploits Craig was very happy to let me have the controls for takeoff and for a large portion of the flight. On the way back to Sywell at around three thousand feet he guided me through a practice session for landing in order for me to get the feel of the particular aircraft we were in before he let me perform the actual landing, with minimal assistance. Craig was so easy to get along with. He talked to me as if we had known each other for years and he made the whole experience a very relaxing and enjoyable one. I highly recommend Cabaero.

George the pilot and James were absolutely amazing and extremely professional. They made the kids and us enjoy the whole experience. The kids spoke highly of George how he took his time to explain everything to them in the cockpit and in the air. James answered all our questions and even talked about the career path because our oldest son wants to join avionics engineering team.
Due to the amazing experience we will be booking again.

My husband booked me a flying lesson for my birthday (a long time dream to learn to fly). Last week I went along to Sywell Aerodrome and was met by George, my instructor for the lesson. He was simply fantastic; encouraging, patient, and most importantly gave me confidence to have a go and operate the plane which was mind blowing on my first lesson. Throughout the lesson, he talked me continuously through the controls, what information the needles were conveying and never tired of my constant questions. I absolutely cannot wait to go up again and am now looking at how to gain my PPL. Craig booked the course with my husband who was super helpful too. An all round brilliant experience! Highly recommend these guys - you’re in safe hands.

We booked a flying experience for our kids. When we got to Sywell we were met by George the pilot and James, they were so courteous, friendly and extremely helpful. George took the kids on the flight whilst James took as around the airfield for pictures, and explaining the whole experience. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional, I would highly recommend him to anyone who would like to visit Sywell. The other staff were also friendly and helpful but our experience with James and George was very very pleasant. The kids were very complimentary of them too. At the end of the flying experience they got a certificate and some lovely pictures. We loved it so much that we’re booking another session. I would highly recommend their service.
