Get airborne in a Russian YAK-52 trainer aircraft on the Whitsundays.
After a briefing and a look over the aircraft, board the YAK, get strapped in and prepare for take-off as the YAK's nine-cylinder radial engine kicks into action.
Your pilot takes the aircraft to a safe altitude at 2500 feet in less than 90 seconds.
Taking a scenic tour around the Islands, you get to see breathtaking views of the Whitsunday Islands, as you weave in and around them on a flight path that takes us over South Molle, Daydream and North Molle Islands.
From there, you buzz across to Airlie Beach and, if you're feeling adventurous, perform aerobatic combat maneouvers from barrel rolls and a loop before returning to land.
