Description:
Your aircraft is the Extra 300, choice of many of the top aerobatic performers and competitors around the world. Built in Germany, this aircraft is the perfect blend of substantial power, with its 300 hp engine and sleek lines formed in its all carbon fiber construction.

The Extra is fast and possesses superb handling characteristics in all phases of flight. It's like a Ferrari with wings!

Upon arrival at the Aurora Municipal Airport, you will be greeted by your expert instructor pilot. After being fully briefed and properly attired in a flight suit, helmet and parachute, you will step into the aircraft and strap in for an electrifying experience.

Your mission profile begins with advanced handling and warm-ups, then progresses through aerobatic maneuvers from basic to advanced. Your instructor will demonstrate how to fly each maneuver and then you take the controls to try the maneuver yourself.

From mild to wild, you decide how far you want to go. Returning to the airport, you will fly the overhead approach favored by fighter pilots.

  1. What should I eat before the flight?
    Eat as you normally do, skipping a meal before a flight is the best way to ensure that you feel airsick.  It is a good idea to avoid dairy or acidic foods immediately before a flight, but no matter what your instructor pilot will ensure that you have an enjoyable experience.
  2. What should I wear?
    Wear comfortable clothes and closed toed shoes.  The aircraft does not have a heater so if it is cool wear layers.  We will give you a flight suit to wear over your clothes during the flight.
