Why take this tour?

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 city, 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! This is where you will have the option to experience some mild 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 Baron Manfred Von Richthofen himself may have experienced during air combat.

About operator:

Experience the thrill of an aerobatics flight with an expert pilot who provides a once-in-a-lifetime adventure over Sydney. After an introduction to basic tricks, your pilot takes your small plane through a sequence of aerobatic maneuvers used in modern-day competition. These daredevil moves were perfected by fighter pilots during World War I in order to avoid being shot down during attacks. Your pilot explains each move via headsets that allow for two-way communications throughout your adrenaline-filled flight.
