Aerobatic Flight - 30 min

What to Expect

Upon your arrival at Bankstown, you 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 bi-plane and fasten your headphones and flight helmet.

There will be plenty of time for your family and friends to take photographs of you as you prepare for your flight. When you are secure, your pilot prepares the plane for take off. You'll be able to hear all the calls to air traffic control and speak to your pilot through the intercom.

Once airborne the plane heads west towards the foothills of the Great Dividing Range. Over St Mary's in the designated training area you'll climb to 3500ft-4000ft. Starting with some basic manoeuvres such as loops, barrel rolls, wing overs and hammer head turns- to get the feel of things. Then it's onto some of the serious aerobatics. Time to hold onto your pants!
