DETAILS

Upon your arrival at Bankstown Airport you’ll meet your highly trained pilot who will give you a full briefing on all aspects of the flight, aircraft details, and safety procedures Then you’ll strap in and soon after, you’ll feel the overwhelming momentum of a 400 horsepower radial engine as it pushes you back into the seat while you tear down the runway and begin your adventure. After takeoff you’ll set your course north towards Palm Beach where you’ll be able to experience aerobatic maneuvers including loops, barrel rolls, half cubans, wing-overs, and stall-turns. Not sure if you’re up for flying aerobatics? Don’t worry, you’ll be in constant contact with your pilot via your headset and you can control the intensity of the maneuvers or skip the aerobatics part entirely for a more relaxed experience. Once your ACES mission is accomplished we return to Bankstown for landing and to debrief the flight. There will be ample opportunity to take photos both before and after the flight and an optional flight video will be available to purchase. This is a great experience and the perfect gift idea for any aviation fan or that person in your life who ‘has everything’ and craves something truly different and unique.
