See the world upside down on this one-of-a-kind, looping, rolling, spinning Aerobatic Flying Adventure!
Take to the skies for an aerial ballet experience as an expert instructor takes you on the ride of a lifetime. You’ll dip, loop, turn barrel rolls, dive hundreds of feet through the air, and even fly upside-down—all from the seat of a meticulously restored WWII era aircraft.
Your adventure begins when you meet your experienced pilot at the terminal and get the low down on logistics and safety. Strap on a safety parachute and listen closely as you get instructions on how to use it. Once you’re suited up, it’s time to fly.
Hop into the open-air cockpit of the historic 1943 Fairchild PT-19 aircraft, fasten your seatbelt, and feel the rush of adrenaline as you taxi down the runway. Let the excitement rise as you climb into the air, then hold on tight as the pilot begins with some basic maneuvers. A loop here, a roll there. Some wingovers and spins just to give you the feel of things. Once you’re comfortable, it’s time to take it up a notch with more exciting combat maneuvers like barrel rolls and hammerhead turns.
Get ready for some serious G forces as your pilot takes on maneuvers like a steep-turn with vertical reverse, a Navy wing-over roll, a snap-roll, a hammerhead, and a lazy-eight, all followed by a spiral descent with a circle as you return to the ground. This Aerobatic Flying Adventure will put a grin on your face that will still be hanging around long after you land!
