What is included?
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.
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 the north-western suburbs of Hornsby
and St Ives. Once granted clearance to Sydney Harbour you'll tour the harbour,
taking in 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.
This is where things get exciting as you pull out all stops with some
optional, 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 the Red
Baron, Manfred Von Richthofen himself may have experienced during air combat.
Once complete You'll head back home over Mona Vale where you may catch a
glimpse of the spectacular Baha'i temple.

of your life.
