Rochester Airport

After my failed attempt to land my private jet, an Airbus A380 private jet edition, at Stoke airport and almost crashing, I attempted to land my A380 at Rochester airport. The landing was very bad. I never knew that my private jet is not supposed to land on grass runways. The wheels sunk in the grass and the plane almost flipped over. I only just managed to keep control and stop the plane in time. I completely ruined my brakes and hit a few of the planes here as I landed. My insurance will cover this, oh wait, the insurance company cancelled my policy after they found out that I was attempting to land over at Stoke airport. After landing everyone stared at my A380 in shock. They must have been shocked at how much money I have to afford it. And after this is where things went wrong. I was told that I could not take off my A380. The runway is too short. Then I found out that I couldn't tow it to a different airport as the local roads are not wide enough to accommodate it. My A380 is now trapped at Rochester airport. But things got even worse, I bribed all the staff here to go home early and not watch what I was doing. I then attempted to take off my A380 and it turns out they were correct, the run way wasn't long enough. My plane crashed through the end of the runway and destroyed all of the houses there, but those houses don't matter as they are not rich people like myself.

Fantastic welcoming and friendly environment, great for a little spotting and great facilities such as free parking and cafe

Friendly airfield with great schools, handy for flying to most airfields in the South East. Viewing area in front of the tower.

Had a visit here yesterday as part of a work training day. Everyone was so knowledgeable and informative, it was a really interesting visit. The airport are always happy to host small groups of visitors and share their wealth of knowledge with them. Thank you to all the guys, from the airport, the sky school and National Grid, who showed us around their helicopter.

Great set up. A challenge to fly into, but very doable. Friendly people who are interested in the operation and put themselves out to help. Well worth a visit.Thanks.

We visited for a flying experience. Everyone was really friendly and helpful - thank you!

Microlight flying lesson was amazing. Jason the instructor was good. The lesson was well worth it. Two fly at Rochester airport.

Further to my previous post, the new main hangar is now in full use & has enhanced the overall view of the main apron & makes everything look a lot smarter.The control tower & new main building/ terminal is also complete but still awaiting fitting out & commissioning.Speaking to ATC staff, they still don't know when they will be moving into the new tower... I will update as I when I find out more.

Outstanding day out for sons 16th birthday. 30 minute flight only £65 which I felt was very good value for such an experience. There is a cafe and a museum there as well as a viewing area. Can't fault it

A great airfield close to London, with the easiest of access from the A229 exit off the M2. Incredibly friendly with a fantastic atmosphere, excellent café and plenty of safe viewing areas for family and friends. It's an oasis of charm and as you can probably tell, I quite simply love the place and happily spend a day there whether or not I'm actually flying. There's tons for the interested aviator to see and do. Don't miss the aircraft preservation workshop, but do check its public opening hours before setting out, if that is the main reason you're going to visit. I hope you enjoy the airfield and its facilities as much as I do. Thanks for reading this review.
