Aerobatic flying in our aircraft with our pilots is exciting enough but throw in formation flying only feet apart and it goes off the chart!
You and your friend are kitted out with flying suits and board the planes. There's the Boeing Stearman and a Pitts Special - you choose who gets what.
The planes taxi in formation and once all checks are complete, your pilots performs an echelon formation take off only feet apart.
On transit to the aerobatic area the two aircraft fly close formation while performing station changes. You can wave to each other and see the looks on each other's faces!
Now for the aerobatics.
You break formation and conduct aerobatics manoeuvres as the pilots demonstrate the full capabilities of the aircraft. Some of the aerobatic figures your pilots put you through include loops, rolls, hammerheads, snap rolls and spins
Afterwards, rejoin and return to base in formation. Now that's simply awesome.
