The chaps operating the two seat Spits out of Goodwood now have EGAA listed on their website as a base for experience flights.  The cheapest is a circuit of Lough Neagh at £4000. Realistically, I can't afford it, but I'll admit I'm sorely tempted.  FWIW I was offered a cabby in G-CTIX about twenty years ago for a grand, coming literally in the week I'd agreed a mortgage, it couldn't happen, but lord I wish it had.

Good old Anthony Hodgson owned G-CTIX for many years, he sold it in 2017 to John Romain or one of his companies at Duxford.He did a few flights for the great unwashed at Newtownards for around £1200 for 30 mins.

Duxford based Aerial Collective do experience flights as well in various aircraft,a Spitfire flight 30mins is £2975, Mustang 30 mins is £2250, worth going over there for a spin instead I reckon.

Have a look....  https://www.aerialcollective.co.uk/experiences/

The NI coastline one is something I would love to do, but not at that price lol.

Belfast City would be a nice one to do I think.
