Blue Mountains Scenic Flight with Aerobatics

Let us show you a unique view of the Eucalypt filled Blue Mountains from the front seat of this adrenaline inducing, open-cockpit bi-plane. Wave at the Three Sisters, soar over the Skyway and breath in the heady scent of the forest as you fly over the magnificent Burragorang Valley.

This activitiy takes place in Bankstown airport.

Bankstown Sydney New South Wales

This is a 1 hour flight.

Each plane carries one passenger and one pilot. Spectators are able to view some Red Baron flights from the foreshores of Sydney Harbour or from the coastline alongside the Eastern and Northern Beaches. Red Baron HQ has comfortable facilities for family and friends to await your return.

All passengers must be in good physical health, be less than 190cm tall and weigh less than 105kg. These limitations are necessary due to the physical restrictions in the front seat of the aircraft. Passengers must be over the age of 14yrs to fly; those aged under 18, must have parental consent.

Upon your arrival at our headquarters in 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. When 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. Once airborne you'll head west towards the Blue Mountains, dropping low over Warragamba Dam and into the Burragorang Valley- Australia's answer to the Grand Canyon. Flying 500ft above the level of the water, and below the top of the magnificent escarpments, you'll experience a unique view of the lush, Eucalypt covered landscape of the Great Dividing Range. Circling over Mt Beloon and the mouth of the Tonalli River you'll head back up the valley to Katoomba and do a fly past of the Three Sisters. As you head back towards Bankstown you'll have the chance to pull out all stops with 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 our headquarters 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.

The flight takes off from Bankstown Airport.
