Take a step back in time and discover the thrill of flying an open-cockpit, WWII era biplane during this Learn to Fly a Biplane experience!
If you've ever stared at a passing plane and wondered what it must be like to fly one... now is your chance to find out! Man the controls of a fully-restored WWII era biplane during this Learn to Fly a Biplane experience!
Your Certified FAA Pilot has over 20 years of experience flying sightseeing and aerobatic rides in Stearman Biplanes. He is even a former Champion of the Aerobatic Competition at the National Stearman Fly-In, so you will definitely be in capable hands!
Enjoy the wind in your hair as you cruise above the Charlotte skyline during this approximately 30 or 60-minute training flight. Your pilot will handle the take-off and landing, but you'll take over the controls once you are safely in the air. Don't worry! There is nothing you can do up there that your pilot can't undo. From the open cockpit, you'll also enjoy views of Lake Norman, Charlotte Motor Speedway and much more!
Want some more time to practice or experience some aerobatics? Upgrade to the 60-minute flight option and you'll do just that! Sit back, hold on, and enjoy as your pilot executes barrel rolls, hammerhead turns, and more!
Take a step back in time and fly like a WWII era pilot. It's an experience you won't soon forget!
