  • Full pre-flight safety briefing

This thrilling flight sees you take on an adversary in a mid-air tail chase, flying high above the beautiful landscapes of the Hunter Valley, in a Yak-52 Russian Air Force Aerobatic Warbird. Your experienced pilot will give you a full pre-flight briefing, including the formation, the mission, and full safety instructions, before you jump on board for an experience that will leave you feeling on top of the world!

On board, your take off will be either formation or stream take-off (wind dependent), from Cessnock Airport. Take in the scenic views of the surrounding Hunter Valley, as you and the second Warbird plane begin the formation positions, as you fly down towards the low flying area for the combat formation over the Brokenback Range, before making a mock bombing attack on a dam. Climb back up to altitude, where you will experience the adrenalin of a one-versus-one tail chase against another Warbird carrying your adversary!

You also get to experience some exciting aerobatics, beginning with the basics, including loops, barrel rolls, stall turns, and if you want to try some more advanced manoeuvres, you can experience 4-point hesitation rolls, cuban 8, porteous loop, slow rolls and vertical rolls.

On your return to base enjoy more air combat as you battle it out in the skies chasing your opponent in the other aircraft. You will manoeuvre on the tail of the other plane whilst going through a series of aerobatic displays of twists and turns as they do the same to you.

cat 13 May 2020

still waiting on the experience has been over a year now. cost a lot of money. nobody has kept in touch with me. trying to ask when it can be done.

Amazing Experience

Tegan 22 February 2020

The pilots especially Jamie were amazing. The planes were in beautiful conditions. The aerobatics was just breathtaking. My brother who is afraid of heights said it was one of the best things he has done so far and I agree. I would do it all again. They take HD film if you ask for it as well, just make sure you press the button correctly as I had an issue with my filming. Overall, it was a fantastic time and would recommend it to anyone.
