60 minute Flight over Harbour Bridge and Northern Beaches in an open-cockpit bi-plane

DESCRIPTION: It’s best seat in the house of the best view in the world! See the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the front seat of this adrenaline inducing, open-cockpit bi-plane then head up the coast all the way to Broken Bay for some adrenaline inducing aerobatic thrills.

Upon your arrival at 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 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. Once you are secure, your pilot will prepare the plane for take off. 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 north over Hornsby and St Ives. Once granted clearance to Sydney Harbour you’ll get 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.

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 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 Richtoffen himself may have experienced during air combat. 

Landing back at Bankstown Airport you’ll be hard pressed to stop smiling for the rest of the day as we hope it is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
