Experience Sydney from a truly unique perspective in the city’s only open cockpit aircraft. Departing from Bankstown Airport, this scenic adventure takes you toward one of the world’s most spectacular harbours: Sydney Harbour. With the cockpit open to the elements, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted views of the city as you fly past iconic landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and surrounds. From the harbour, the flight continues along the coastline toward Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Soaring above the ocean with nothing but open air around you, this experience delivers a raw and immersive style of flying that few aircraft can offer, combining world-class scenery with the thrill of open cockpit aviation.

For those seeking an added rush, the experience includes the option to participate in a mild-grade aerobatic sequence over Long Reef. Gentle loops, rolls and increased G-forces offer an exciting taste of aerobatics, all delivered at a level designed to remain comfortable and enjoyable. Participation is entirely optional, allowing you to tailor the flight to your own sense of adventure. Flying in the iconic Red Baron Pitts Special biplane, this experience blends classic aviation, stunning coastal scenery and optional adrenaline into one unforgettable flight. From hearing live air traffic calls through the headset to feeling the wind rush past in the open cockpit, it’s an extraordinary way to see Sydney in one of the best seats in the sky.

Wow...what a rush!!

Darragh 15 February 2020

The most amazing and exhilarating experience of my life! Spectacular views of the city and harbour, topped off with some incredible aerobatics over the northern beaches. Nothing can prepare you for the intense G forces experienced while looping and rolling over some of the most beautiful coastline imaginable. Everybody should experience the intense adrenaline rush! Thanks Amir for a great flight. I'll be back for more!

Awesome way to see the harbour!
