Join an elite few and experience a flight in an original USAF WW2 fighter. The North American P51 Mustang is credited with having destroyed 4950 enemy aircraft and was pivotal in the allies securing air superiority in both Europe and the Pacific during WW2. This fighter embodied speed, manoeuvrability and range, combined characteristics unique in the class of aircraft it shared including the Spitfire, Messerschmitt 109, Focke-Wulf , Yakovlev Yak-3 and Zero. This plane is one of the few flying examples in the world and is arguably the best having only recently completing a complete restoration.
The experience will take you on a sortie out of Archerfield in our original WW2 veteran. We begin at our base with a full operation briefing by the pilot, after which you will then be fitted into a flight suit, taken to the aircraft and strapped into the plane in preparation for the flight.
The engine ignition sequence of the 2 stage supercharged 1650hp Rolls Royce engine starts you on your adventure where you will be taken through some of classic dog fight manoeuvres which may include loops, barrel rolls, half Cubans, wing-overs.
Imagine while you’re having the time of your life, your family and friends can relax at our hangar and enjoy the sights and sounds of the busy Brisbane airport. They will feel as though they are in an original WW2 operation center and will witness first hand your engine start, take-off and return, truly becoming part of the experience.
After the flight, we’ll join you to debrief and you will have the opportunity to discuss your flight, and most importantly get some photographs with the aircraft and your guests. If a USB was purchased on the day, you will also be shown your experience footage from the flight, while it downloads.
This is truly a fantastic experience and a perfect gift idea for aviation fans and something unique for that special someone.
