Don't be fooled by its classic styling, this plane will pull 6G's and complete
amazing aerobatic manoeuvres as you hang upside down in your seat 4000 ft
above the ground.
Experience manoeuvres such as: Loop the Loop, Barrel rolls, Aileron rolls,
Snap rolls, Cuban 8’s, Split-S, Spins, Hammerheads, Immleman’s (roll off the
top), Inverted Flight (upside down) and MORE!
The full experience lasts 60 minutes with 30 minutes of flight time. This
includes:
Upon your arrival at Red Baron Hangar, you will be checked in by one of our
friendly flight hosts. While you are getting ready any accompanying friends
and family will relax in our comfortable flight lounge, enjoying complimentary
tea & coffee. When ready for departure you will climb into a pilot's flight-
suit and prepare to board. Once you complete your one-on-one pre-flight
briefing your pilot will strap you securely into the cockpit and fasten your
headset.
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'll 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 foothills of the Great Dividing
Range. Once you have climbed to 3500ft-4000ft you will start with some basic
manoeuvres like loops, barrel rolls, wingovers and hammerhead turns. Your
pilot may also treat you to some inverted flight- flying upside down! Your
pilot will explain each manoeuvre as you go through it.
Once you're comfortable with the basics and after a couple of spins to shake
things out your pilot will put all these elements together into an adrenaline-
inducing sequence of the type used in competition aerobatics.
Experience manoeuvres such as: Loop the Loop, Barrel rolls, Aileron rolls,
Snap rolls, Cuban 8’s, Split-S, Spins, Hammerheads, Immleman’s (roll off the
top), Inverted Flight (upside down) and MORE!
While aerobatic manoeuvres are all fun and games today don't forget they
developed out of the serious business of WWI, where fighter pilots like Baron
Von Richthofen and other flying aces performed these complicated aerial moves
to avoid being shot down in deadly dog fights.
After you've had your fill of neck-numbing, adrenaline-flooding aerial ballet
you'll head back to Bankstown. Landing back at Red Baron HQ 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!
Check-in time is 15 minutes before your departure time. Please avoid greasy
