Experience the thrill of flying in a Yak-52 Russian Air Force Aerobatic Warbird, as you strap in and experience high G aerobatics, including rolls, loops, and turns, plus the thrill of low flying, all while taking in scenic views of the Hunter Valley.
Take the ride of your life on this 30 minute flight in a Yak-52 Russian Air Force Aerobatic Warbird. Your experienced pilot will give you a full pre-flight briefing, including mission and safety, before you jump on board for an experience that will leave you completely breathless.
Once airborne, your flight will take you low flying through the Brokenback Ranges, and take a turn at a mock bombing attack. You will go through some basic aerobatics to begin with, including loops, barrel rolls and stall turns. The flight becomes more challenging as you experience more advanced aerobatics, including 4-point hesitation rolls, cuban 8, porteous loop, slow rolls, and vertical rolls. If you don't want to do so many aerobatics, you can instead choose to have more time taking in the stunning scenic views over the wineries of the Hunter Valley.
Please allow one hour for this experience, which includes 20-30 minutes flying time.

Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider.

We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
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. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
