What to Expect
Start your aerobatics adventure by climbing into a flight suit and preparing to board the aircraft. Your pilot will strap you into the open air cockpit of the Pitts Special S2A -a high performance aerobatic aircraft powered by a 340hp engine. Once secure in the aircraft, your pilot will prepare the plane for takeoff. With the intercom, you'll be able to hear all the calls to air traffic control and speak with your pilot throughout your adventure.
Taking off from Bankstown, you'll climb over the outer suburbs of Sydney to reach an altitude of 1500ft. From here you'll soar over the Olympic site at Homebush Bay then circle over St Ives. Once granted permission to Sydney Harbour, you'll get a bird's eye view of Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and Taronga Park Zoo.
Out at Long Reef you'll drop to 500ft and skirt the peninsular up to Palm Beach and Broken Bay, then climb back to 2500ft for some breathtaking aerobatics. Try a loop and a roll to give you a view of the world from a completely different perspective.
