Product Details

If you want a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, look no further than the YAK flight experience. When you enter the briefing, you will be filled with excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead. You will be introduced to the plane that will take you soaring through the skies, the YAK, a true marvel of aviation engineering.

Once you are strapped into the rear seat of the plane, you will hear the roar of the radial engine as your pilot prepares for take-off. As you gain altitude, you will be treated to stunning views of the world below you. You will hear every word exchanged between your pilot and air traffic control, adding to the sense of excitement.

At a safe height, your mission begins. The YAK is a plane capable of manoeuvring in ways few others can. You will stay below radar coverage for most of the flight, giving you a view of the world unmatched by any other experience. And on the return leg of your journey, your pilot will perform optional aerobatic manoeuvres. From loops to stall turns to Cuban eights, you will experience G-forces that will leave you breathless.

For those who live locally, the YAK flight experience is a unique opportunity to see your home from a view that has never been seen before. Whether you are a seasoned aviation enthusiast or someone who has never set foot in a plane, the YAK flight experience is an adventure you will never forget.
