Description:
Feel the wind in your face as you speed down the runway and lift off into the clear blue sky in a meticulously restored 1920's airplane.

The Earth descends below you and you feel the freedom of the open cockpit in this spectacular flight over the beautiful Southern California countryside.

Fly low and slow over beaches, inland over lakes, golf courses, vineyards and more. Or, make up your own route. You are in constant communication with your pilot. Just let him or her know where you want to go, and you are on your way.

Engage in maneuvers such as wifferdills, lazy-eights, chandelles, and mock bombing runs on enemy tanks cleverly camouflaged as cows

Each flight can be more thrilling than a roller coaster, or as gentle as you like! You tell your pilot what you want.

Enjoy breathtaking views of:

  • Del Mar
  • La Jolla
  • Torrey Pines
  • Mission Bay
  • Sea World
  • San Diego Bay
  • Coronado
  • and more!

  1. Is this experience safe?
    Yes.  All the pilots are FAA Certified Commercial Pilots, and most are also Certified Flight Instructors.  Many of the pilots are either active-duty military pilots or airline pilots.
  2. Are there any age, size or weight restrictions?
    Two large people will fit, although first class seating in a 1920s biplane is cozier than coach seats in modern airliners. The combined weight of participants should not be over 400 lbs. As for age, we've flown with youngsters from 2 to 102.
  3. Is it scary?
    In the biplane we'll give you a gentle, level ride described by one reporter as "like a ride in a convertible but with a better view" unless you specifically ask for some excitement. Some folks have said they're afraid of heights, but no worries...believe it or not so are a few of our pilots. Fact is, most people are afraid of edges not heights. In our aircraft you're surrounded by the cockpit and wings and there's none of that "on the edge looking down" sensation at all.
  4. Are we limited to flying your standard routes?
    With some exceptions, we can go wherever you want in the time you have on your flight. Be sure to tell the pilot what you want even if it's on our standard route. If you want to fly over something/someone they must be within 25 miles of our airport, and you can figure it will take about as long to get there as it would in a car. Keep in mind, our pilot is the ultimate authority on your flight and may need to alter the standard route due to weather, safety, your bathroom habits, or other concerns.
