Experience flying in Sydney’s only open cockpit aircraft as you depart Bankstown Airport tracking for the world’s best harbour, Sydney Harbour. Followed by a spectacular coastal flight towards the Northern Beaches of Sydney by dropping to a minimum of 500 feet for a low-level pass over the Northern Beaches. Starting from Manly all the way towards Palm Beach, make sure you look out for the whales and pods of dolphins! Then once over Palm Beach, we will climb up to 3000 feet, and you can choose your level of aerobatics, “Mild grade” or “Intense grade”, or both. It’s entirely up to you! 

The booking time is 110 minutes, which includes 70 minutes of flight time.

Upon your arrival at Red Baron HQ, Bankstown, you will climb into a flight suit and prepare to board. Your pilot will strap you securely into the open-air cockpit of the Pitts Special S2A aerobatic biplane. There will be plenty of time for your family and friends to take photographs of you as you prepare for your flight. Once you are secure, your pilot will prepare the plane for departure. You will be able to hear all the calls to air traffic control and speak to your pilot through the intercom.

You will take off from Bankstown Airport and climb over the outer suburbs of Sydney to reach a cruising altitude of 1500ft. You'll soar over the sprawling Olympic site at Homebush Bay then circle the north-western suburbs of Hornsby and St Ives. Once granted clearance to Sydney Harbour you'll tour the harbour, taking in a bird's eye view of iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. You can wave at the Prime Minister at Kirribilli, fly higher than the eagles at Taronga Park Zoo and salute the sailors on Garden Island. It's the best seat in the house for the best view in the world!

You might also get a chance to check out Rose Bay and the world famous Bondi Beach, before heading north over Middle Harbour, the Spit Bridge and Manly as you follow the coastline to Long Reef. The fun does not end here in this 70-minute, extended flight package. At Long Reef you’ll drop to 500ft and skirt the peninsula up to Palm Beach and Broken Bay, then climb back to 2500ft for an extended session of adrenaline-inducing aerobatics. Try a loop and a roll to give you a view of the world from a completely different perspective. This is what the Pitts is made for and your pilot will give you a taste of the G-Forces Baron Manfred Von Richthofen himself may have experienced during air combat.

Landing back at Red Baron HQ you’ll be hard-pressed to stop smiling for the rest of the day and we hope it is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
