Took my Dad there when he was in his 80s

And had a new lease on life after a bypass op. He loved it, he had been a plane fan since childhood, used to go to Southampton airport to see the Spitfire prototypes in the 30s.

I went back a few years after he died, they had a Spit and a Typhoon taking off to head to Goodwood festival. They did a couple of takeoffs and landings then a low pass together before heading South. He would have loved it.
