Experience flying in Sydney’s only open cockpit aircraft as you depart Bankstown Airport tracking for the world’s best harbour, Sydney Harbour. Followed by a spectacular coastal flight towards the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Then, if you’re feeling brave, opt in to soar through the skies over Long Reef as you feel the thrill of the “mild grade" aerobatic sequence before returning back to Bankstown.

Climb aboard Sydney’s only open Cockpit Biplane for an exhilarating aerial adventure over Sydney Harbour, the Northern Beaches, and Palm Beach. Strapped into the super-responsive Pitts Special S2A, you'll feel the wind in your hair as you soar above Sydney's most iconic sights. From the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, Rose Bay, Sydney Heads, to the beaches of Manly, this flight offers a once-in-a-lifetime bird's-eye view of the city.

What is so special about an open cockpit aircraft?

It makes you feel like you're part of the environment you're viewing. The wind is flowing through your hair, and you can literally reach out and touch the sky you're soaring through! It's like driving in a fully convertible car, and when it comes to doing aerobatic manoeuvres in an open cockpit aircraft, that feels like you're racing around a windy road on a motorbike!

Engine start

You'll start in our flight lounge at Bankstown Airport, where we will suit up in a pilot's flight suit, followed by a one-on-one personal pre-flight briefing with your pilot. This is where you’ll also be able to discuss your scenic and aerobatic flight preferences, if any. Afterwards, you'll be securely strapped into the cockpit, active noise-cancelling headset on, and ready for takeoff. As you become airborne, you will immediately feel the wind in your hair in the open cockpit. As you climb over the northern beaches, the adventure begins! Your pilot will guide you through exhilarating aerobatic moves like loops, barrel rolls, and even inverted flight, offering a glimpse of what it's like to be upside down in an open cockpit, with nothing between you and the water. Each manoeuvre is explained as you go, connecting you to the history of WWI dogfights and aerial aces. When it's time to land, you'll return to Red Baron HQ with an unforgettable experience and a smile that lasts for days.

Our expert team at Red Baron will ensure your safety and comfort throughout this unforgettable experience, making it 10/10 from start to finish. It’s the best seat in the sky!
