At the base, you’ll be taken through an overview of the P-51D Mustang and a full mission briefing to go over the flight’s intensity, safety and communication procedures. Get geared up in a fighter pilot suit (optional) and helmet then head out to board the aircraft. After a final run through and system check, it’s time for take off.
Feel the roar of the Rolls Royce Packard Merlin as your pilot unleashes its 1250 Horse Power, and take a deep breath as you blast up to altitude. The first objective in your simulated combat mission is a high-speed attack run through the valley’s of Spring Mountain National Park, simulating low level strafing to experience being low and insanely fast in a World War II Fighter.
Then get ready for some classic fighter manoeuvres as you experience a suite of aerobatics to whatever intensity you can handle. Your pilot can take you twisting and turning on combat aileron rolls, barrel rolls, and loops, showing you the incredible agility of the legendary war aircraft. If you’re not up for the aerobatics, you can enjoy the thrill of top speed with some straight and level flight. Your flight finishes with a high speed run across Flinders Peak, before you experience the classic fighter “buzz and break” manoeuvre prior to approach and landing back at Archerfield.
Your Fighter flight adventure is 30 minutes engine start to stop, with 15 minutes in the air. After you land you’ll head back to Archerfield for a de-brief and photo opportunities while you’re still buzzing from your unforgettable adrenaline-pumping flight.
