Classic Thrill Rides
Open Cockpit Biplane Rides | 1 or 2 Passengers | Gentle Aerobatics
Flying in an open cockpit 1930s biplane with someone special is something that everyone has to experience at least once in their lifetime to fully appreciate what flying is all about. It is like taking a trip back in time to when Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart were making headlines with their incredible flying adventures. You will be flying in our Classic WACO biplane as we take you up, up and away feeling the wind rushing past our faces as we fly close enough to almost touch the clouds. Now you can experience the magic of flight from a totally unique perspective, one that has been nearly lost by the passage of time.
This modern 1930s aircraft is current production and ours was built in 1996 with safety, comfort, and luxury combined to make flying open cockpit a wonderful and magical experience. We specialize in providing a wide variety of flight experiences from "mild-to-wild" aerobatic rides for 1 or 2 passengers, to beautiful aerial tours around the Los Angeles and Orange County areas, to combinations of aerobatics and tours. We customize each ride to the desires of our riders making this a unique flight that you are sure to find delightful.
