Biplane Rides over Atlanta operates out of Atlanta, Georgia, offering scenic aerial tours in open-cockpit biplanes and enclosed-cabin Piper Cherokee aircraft. The company provides a range of curated flights including short skyline introductions and longer, customizable tours over Lake Lanier, Stone Mountain, Downtown Atlanta, Midtown, and Buckhead. Guests can choose evening sunset flights, daytime sightseeing, or extended blocks such as a three-hour training block. Each trip is guided by experienced pilots who handle navigation, flight planning, and passenger safety while pointing out landmarks below.
Flights include options for private groups of up to three passengers in Piper Cherokee tours and open-cockpit experiences for a classic biplane feel. Bookings allow customers to select dates and, for some tours, specify GPS coordinates to fly over a chosen home or landmark. The fleet mix and trip options include 20-minute All-Atlanta Skyline flights, 30-minute Piper Cherokee skyline and sunset flights, 50–55 minute Lake Lanier tours, and specialized training blocks. Safety practices follow standard aviation procedures, and pilots prioritize preflight briefings, weight-and-balance checks, and controlled operations for each sortie.
For specialized instructional activities such as the N842BJ 3-hour block, pilots Jeromy and Victorino provide guided oversight during weight-and-balance and operational exercises. This supports sightseers and renters seeking aircraft time and hands-on learning within Atlanta-area airspace. Reservations accommodate selected dates and group sizes.
