The Classic Biplane RideBrace yourself - You will be flying our 1935 Classic Aerobatic Biplane! This incredible biplane is an absolute hoot to fly. It's like taking a ride in a time machine back to 1935 when flying an aerobatic biplane was the most fun and adventurous thing a person could do. Some things never change. You will get to enjoy the incredible views, hear the soothing, purring sounds of a radial engine, and experience the sensations that can only be created while flying in our beautifully handcrafted American Classic Biplane.
We can take a cruise around the Los Angeles basin (within 25 miles of Fullerton), perform some gentle aerobatics over the Pacific Ocean, or a little of both. Looping and rolling this biplane is like nothing you have ever experienced before. In the Classic Biplane Ride, you will be encouraged to do as much flying as you like... well except for the takeoff and landing, of course. Choose whether you would actually like to pilot the aircraft, hands-on, or if you prefer to bring a friend along. Average flight time is 45 minutes.
The Extreme Biplane RideIf you really want to take things to the next level, you can fly our Extreme Stunt Biplane, hands-on! This world-class, aerobatic championship biplane is the most fun, high-performance, aerobatic, production biplane on earth. You will be at the controls of this amazing biplane for everything but the takeoff and landing. You will be performing aerobatic maneuvers such as rolls, loops, hammerheads, and spins, even if you have never been up in a plane before. You will even get the opportunity to fly upside down for an inverted pass, if you are feeling the need for some negative Gs! Pull some high G's as you pull the aircraft straight up into the vertical with air show smoke trailing as your professional aerobatic instructor pilot coaches you every step of the way. Average flight time is 45 minutes.

What Can I Expect?
Our goal is to empower you, make you feel good, and to ensure your safety, not scare you. You will be in control for most of the flight, so you will feel great and look like a pro on the video. Your entire extreme flying experience will be recorded and transferred to DVD after your adventure.
Are There Any Restrictions or Limitations?
The aircraft and the cockpit are small, like a single seat racecar, so size does matter. Smaller and lighter is better since we want you to have a most enjoyable and comfortable experience during your lesson. The person flying must meet certain physical requirements to be able to participate and enjoy the biplane ride. We require the following:
- Must be at least 18 years of age
- Be in good physical condition
- Be able to hear, understand and speak English
- Be less than 6'3'' and 240 lbs and less than 20'' wide at the hip
- Be willing and able to sign a Release of Liability form before the flight
- If under the age of 18 and at least 12 years of age, you must have parental consent
- Be able to enter and exit the aircraft safely in the event of an emergency
Of course there are a few exceptions to the height and weight restrictions, so if you have a specific question, please ask before you buy the flight. There will be no refunds for not knowing if you can fit in the aircraft the day of the flight.
