The T-6 Texan was known as the pilot maker because it trained over 100,000 Allied pilots during WW II. Now, you have the chance to experience the romantic 1940s by climbing aboard this warbird for an adventure flight to the New England Gorge Country and some dizzying aerobatics on the return leg.
Upon arrival, you are given a full pre-flight briefing, an introduction to the T-6 Texan aircraft, and an overview of the types of aerobatic manoeuvres you will encounter that are right for your comfort level. After the briefing, jump aboard the warbird, ready to depart Armidale Airport and head southeast over the New England Farmland toward Dangars Gorge.
At Dangars Gorge, you link up with Gara Gorge before returning to the airfield. During the return leg, your pilot takes the Texan to a safe aerobatics height where you'll experience aerobatics from dives, rolls, Cubin 8s and loops.
Feel the G forces as you carve up the sky. Experience the unique sound, smell, and feel of a beautifully restored supercharged fighter trainer.
Finally, you return to the airport where you began and safely land, ready for some photos alongside the plane.
