What an awesome experience, very professional and very friendly and relaxed.
Never though I would get to fly a stunt plane perform rolls, loops etc. Top bucket list to do.

I've traveled the world and done so many exciting things that it can be hard to truly amaze me.
My flight in the Pitts special was so incredible. It's like race car driving in a 3 Dimensional world! Despite the extreme nature of the flight I always felt safe and secure in the aircraft. The attention to detail concerning both my safety and comfort was fantastic. I learned a lot about flying and have since offered rides to everyone in our family and will be back again soon! Thank you Allison and Vincent !

Been to nz with my brother doing bungee, swing, skydive and whatever adrenalin activities we could get our hands on.
Loved it all, but flying a little stuntplane doing loops, barrelrolls and other acrobatics was without a doubt the most intence and wildest thing we have ever experienced. Something all adrenalinjunkies should try.Thumbs up from both of us. Best regards Jonas and Emil

It sounds crazy and it is!
It's the best thing I've done in my life. You're feeling free, it's packed with adrenaline and makes lots of fun! It's definitely worth the money!

The most fun 20 minutes I've ever had.
I wouldn't consider myself an adrenaline junky, but I've done skydiving, bungy, etc., the don't even touch this. I skimmed through the reviews to find out who didn't give this a 10 and why not. They were complaining about how expensive the DVD option is. While I agree, it too was worth it. The only other bad thing about this is that your life can only get less cool. AWESOME

I had a quick holiday in NZ for three weeks, the whole time trying to fit in as many thrills and adventures as possible.
Up against all the bungys, swings, skydives, jet boats, black water rafting and everything else I did, this was hands down the best experience in NZ, if not anywhere, ever!
It was a pleasure to meet Vincent and Allison, and immediately they made me feel welcome and at ease. Flying the plane was incredible and surprisingly easy. Getting the video is well worth it, and Allison and Vincent go the extra mile and make you an edited version with external cameras and Top Gun music as well as your full flight.
If I wasn't half way round the world, I would jump at the chance to do this again.
Thanks Guys, hope to see you again one day.

Awesome fun, awesome team, I wanna go again!
I sorted this out for my bro's 40th to put some fear back into his eyes! It certainly did that and put a crazy smile on his face that I hadn't seen in a long time ... sweeeeeeeet!
Vincent and Alison were superb to deal with - 100% friendly, efficient and professional. Even the video was awesome - Vincent made sure that the viewers know it's my bro flying.
Top marks ... thanks guys.

This was such an amazing experience!
It is incredible what Vincent makes you do once up in the air. This is the opportunity of your lifetime to try something like this out. If you are in the area, be sure to give them a call and pay them a visit.
Part from the amazing experience they are such friendly and nice people.
Warm recommendations from me and my girlfriend!
Be sure to get the DVD of the experience as well, otherwise no one will believe you ;-)

Vincent was ace and even helped us organise our few days in the area. This trip was brilliant!

I was in NZ for 5 weeks traveling around the country and was lucky enough to run into Vincent and U-Fly.
I had done a bunch of other adrenaline activities bungy at Nevis and Taupo, ice climbing, rafting and others but this was by far the sickest thing I've ever done in my life, ever. At around 500 ft Vincent tells you ok you have control lets see what you can do and it feels almost too easy to fly an airplane while doing loops, rolls, stalls and the works. I thought at first it was a lot to pay for only 15 minutes but compared to paying almost the same for the 30 second bungy jump this blows it and sky diving out of the water. 15 minutes was plenty of time, although I did go up a second time a few days later and sacrificed later in the trip. Also the video is a must, you'll see yourself giggling, screaming, and crying all at the same time while spinning upside down and being held in my only your safety harness and pulling all the G's you can handle.

I visited New Zealand on an "adrenaline" type trip from the north island all the way to Milford Sound doing it all...
bungy jumping, canyon swinging, sky diving, riverboarding, whitewater rafting... you name it. My time flying with Vincent (and prep with his super nice wife) in the stunt plane blew everything else out of the water. The plane is a very powerful open cockpit stunt biplane with Vincent sitting in the seat behind and talking you through all the various crazy-fun stunt maneuvers that gets your heart racing while you take control of the stick. Maneuvers included loops, barrel rolls, cuban 8's, flying inverted and quite a few others with some serious positive G forces. The DVD video is a MUST and Vincent shows that you are actually flying by putting his hands on his windshield during the maneuvers. Don't be fooled either... 15 min is a good amount of time when you're doing all these things.
Like one huge video game, the views are absolutely breathtaking and Vincent is super patient. The speed and feeling of freedom with the open cockpit is indescribable as you fly up into the clouds and high over the city. Flying upside down was a bit disconcerting when you realize the only thing holding you in is your seat belt!!! Flying of this kinds is a feeling that needs to be experienced once in your life... definitely one for the bucket list!
I actually decided to go back for a second run (I can't find anything remotely close to this in the USA) and Vincent pretty much said "I'll take off and land and you have control... go anywhere you want!"
Very, very cool. I understood the passion of flying after this experience and it has actually gotten me looking to get my private pilot's license (NOTE: This experience actually COUNTS towards flying time towards a license!!!)... great stuff and definitely good for serious bragging rights when you get home!

Absolutely incredible!
Forget the bungee, forget the skydives! This is what u wanna do! Fly the plane by your own and you will just love it! It´s a really good experience and in my opinion a good value for the money! But don´t expect that you will have a lot of time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Abel Tasman NP, you will be much more interested in do your loopings! I highly recommand U FLY EXTREME! Come on, do it!
cheers

The most fun thing I've done in my life.
This activity even put a smile on my expressionless face and the grin was there all day after the flight. Once you land you'll just want to go straight back up again.

The best activity I had in NZ, it's definitely a must-do if you come to Nelson/Motueka, nothing beats performing stunts on your own in the air!
I will do the 20-min flight if I were to come next time! Vincent and Alison, hope to see you next time!

I have done most of the adrenaline activities going in NZ and this is by far teh best.
It costs about the same as a sky-dive but you can do those pretty much anywhere. Where elese can you actually - yes you!! Fly a plane upside down, loop the loop and roll round and round. Flying a plane itself is pretty cool - flying a stunt plane upside down etc takes some beating. This is a must do experience while in NZ!!! Vincent who goes up with you is brilliant. he puts you at ease and then hands over the controls within about a minute of you being in the air!!! All I can say is if you are in NZ you should do this, full stop!!!!!!!!
