Feel the thrill of aerial ballet from the front seat of a plane as an expert instructor takes you on the flight of a lifetime. Soar in loops, perform barrel rolls, dive hundreds of feet through the air, and even fly upside-down—all in a Pitts Special S-2A Aerobatic Biplane.

Meet your experienced pilot at Bankstown Airport and listen to a briefing on logistics and safety. Then hop into the front seat of this open-cockpit biplane, fasten your seatbelt, and listen to the pre-takeoff calls between your pilot and air traffic control.

Once airborne you’ll head west towards the foothills of the Great Dividing Range. Over St Mary’s- in the designated training area- you’ll climb to 3500ft-4000ft. You’ll start with some basic manoeuvres- like loops, barrel rolls, wingovers and hammer head turns- to get the feel of things. Once you’re comfortable with the basics you’ll move onto some combination manoeuvres; things like a Roll Off The Top- a half loop followed by a half roll- and a Split S, the reverse of the Roll off the Top- a half roll followed by a half loop. You’ll experience G forces of anywhere between +6G and -3G, alternatively being pushed into your seat or pulled hard against your harness.

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.
