Sydney Harbour Open Cockpit Flight & Beaches Aerobatics

Prepare for the ultimate open-air adventure as you soar above Sydney Harbour and the Northern Beaches in the iconic Red Baron Open Cockpit Biplane, the Pitts Special - Sydney’s only open cockpit aircraft! This breathtaking experience showcases some of Sydney’s most famous landmarks, including the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Rose Bay, Mosman, Manly and Palm Beach, all enjoyed with nothing between you and the sky. Flying in an open cockpit aircraft puts you directly in the environment you’re viewing. Feel the wind rush past as you soar through the air, creating an immersive sensation similar to driving a fully convertible car (except you’re thousands of feet above the ground). When aerobatics are added to the mix, the experience intensifies even further, delivering a raw, exhilarating connection to the aircraft and the sky around you.

In addition to the harbour flight, this experience includes a spectacular low-level coastal pass at a minimum of 500 feet, starting at Manly and tracking all the way to Palm Beach. With views of the ocean below, keep an eye out for whales and pods of dolphins that are regularly spotted along the coastline. Once you've soaked in the scenery, the excitement steps up another level. Over Palm Beach and Barrenjoey Lighthouse, you can choose your aerobatics intensity - mild grade, intense grade, or both. Experience loops, rolls and hammerheads at speeds of up to 360 km/h, pulling between +4 and +6 Gs. For those feeling brave, you can even experience inverted flight (flying upside down), feeling negative G-forces as you hang upside down in the open cockpit, secured only by your harness. As one of our passengers once said, it's the best fun you can have with your clothes on! With the coastline and beaches above your head, it’s an unforgettable way to experience Sydney from the sky.
