Experience Sydney like never before in the city’s only open cockpit aircraft. Departing from Bankstown Airport, this unforgettable scenic flight takes you toward one of the world’s most spectacular harbours: Sydney Harbour. With the open air around you, you’ll enjoy unparalleled views of iconic landmarks as you track across the city and out along the coastline. From here, the adventure intensifies as you descend to a minimum of just 500 feet for a low-level coastal fly-by along Sydney’s stunning Northern Beaches.

Once over Palm Beach, those feeling brave can opt in to a mild-grade aerobatic sequence. Experience gentle loops, rolls and increased G-forces as you soar through the skies, all while enjoying the unique sensation of open cockpit flying with nothing between you and the horizon. Flying in the iconic Red Baron Pitts Special biplane, this flight offers a raw, immersive and incredibly responsive flying experience that few aircraft can match.
