Fly Sydney’s only open cockpit aircraft from Bankstown Airport over Sydney Harbour, then drop to just 500ft for a low-level coastal pass along the Northern Beaches to Palm Beach. Spot whales and dolphins, with optional mild aerobatics. Duration: 100 min (60 min flight time)
Experience Sydney like never before in the city’s only open cockpit aircraft. Departing from Bankstown Airport, this unforgettable scenic flight takes you toward one of the world’s most spectacular harbours: Sydney Harbour. With the open air around you, you’ll enjoy unparalleled views of iconic landmarks as you track across the city and out along the coastline. From here, the adventure intensifies as you descend to a minimum of just 500 feet for a low-level coastal fly-by along Sydney’s stunning Northern Beaches. Flying from Manly all the way to Palm Beach, you’ll skim above the coastline with crystal-clear views of the ocean below. If conditions allow, keep an eye out for migrating whales and playful pods of dolphins.
Once over Palm Beach, those feeling brave can opt in to a mild-grade aerobatic sequence. Experience gentle loops, rolls and increased G-forces as you soar through the skies, all while enjoying the unique sensation of open cockpit flying with nothing between you and the horizon. Participation in aerobatics is entirely optional, allowing you to tailor the experience to your comfort level. Flying in the iconic Red Baron Pitts Special biplane, this flight offers a raw, immersive and incredibly responsive flying experience that few aircraft can match. From hearing live air traffic calls through the intercom to feeling the wind rush past as you cruise low along the coast, this is truly one of the best seats in the sky. A bucket-list experience for thrill-seekers, adventurers and lovers of classic aviation alike!

Red Baron reserves the right to cancel or reschedule flights if conditions may affect the safety of the experience. Safety is always our highest priority. Weather conditions, aircraft serviceability and pilot availability may determine whether a flight can proceed at the scheduled date and time. If your flight is deemed unsuitable to operate, we will contact you to arrange an alternative time. Poor weather conditions may include, but are not limited to, low cloud cover, rain, adverse wind conditions, or forecast temperatures exceeding 33°C.
You will be suited up in a pilot flight suit, similar in specification to those used by the Australian and US Air Forces. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing suitable for the weather on the day. Enclosed shoes are required. Sunglasses and a hair tie for long hair are highly recommended.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.

We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service.
