Harbour Bridge in an Open Cockpit Pitts Special

Shortly after arrival at Bankstown, climb into a flight-suit and prepare to board a Pitts Special.

Securely strapped in, fasten your headphones and prepare for take off as you listen in to all the calls to air traffic control.

Soon you'll be in the air and climbing over the outer suburbs of Sydney reaching a cruising altitude of 1500 ft. 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. Give a wave to 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 things get really exciting as you pull out all stops with some adrenaline inducing 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.

You’ll head back home over Mona Vale where you can catch a glimpse of the spectacular Baha’i temple.

Landing back at Bankstown you’ll be hard pressed to stop smiling for the rest of the day and we hope it is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
