Stearman Scenic Joy Flight – 45 Minutes

Here’s your chance to fly America’s World War II Military Trainer, the Boeing Stearman. This aircraft trained many of America’s greatest civil and military aviators, people such as Neil Armstrong (the first man on the moon) and Chuck Yeager (the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound). Be uplifted as the 220hp Continental radial engine is taken through its paces with you at the controls, before your instructor shows you the aerobatic capabilities of this magnificent flying machine.

Upon arrival at the hangar, you will meet your pilot and ground staff for the day and be shown around the vintage, open-cockpit Stearman aircraft prior to your scenic flight (with plenty of time for photos) where safety aspects will be explained. Then you will be helped to strap yourself into your seat. You will be sitting at the front of the aircraft and your pilot will be sitting behind you. When all is ready you will be up and away on your Stearman Scenic Flight. You have communication with your pilot for the duration of the flight and he will make the journey as enjoyable as possible for you pointing out areas of interest as you sit back and watch the world fly past. On return to the Hangar you will be assisted from the aircraft by the ground crew and there will be an opportunity for some further photos.

Spectators Welcome. All spectators are very welcome and will be escorted to an area on the tarmac where they can watch you take-off and land.
