Description
Take to the skies in the legendary Red Baron open-cockpit biplane, the Pitts Special, for an unforgettable aerial adventure. Your experience begins at the Red Baron Hangar, where you’ll be welcomed by friendly hosts, suit up in a pilot’s flight suit and receive a pre-flight briefing, with time for photos before takeoff. Once airborne, soar over Sydney’s most iconic landmarks - including the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Taronga Zoo, all from approximately 1,500 feet. Your experienced pilot provides live commentary through a noise-cancelling headset, ensuring both comfort and safety throughout the flight. For those seeking an added thrill, optional aerobatics include loops and rolls, delivering exhilarating G-forces unique to this aircraft. The adventure concludes with a scenic flight over Mona Vale and Sydney’s Northern Beaches before returning to Bankstown Airport. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or unforgettable views, this is a once-in-a-lifetime Red Baron experience.

All round awesome experience! My flight had been rescheduled twice due to bad weather so it was great to finally get airborne! Mel was very helpful with the preflight preparations! Jared, the pilot really knew his stuff! The highlights were the two circuits just east of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the aerobatics over Pitt Water and the dash back to beat a rapidly approaching storm cell! Thank you Red Baron Team!
Thanks for flying with us Rob! It was lovely flying over Sydney Harbour and the Northern Beaches with you!
Fantastic experience, from Poppy who helped coordinate a booking to Jared, who piloted a fabulous flight. Can’t say enough about this team and the experience. I’d happily book another flight next time I’m in Sydney!
Hi Deb + Diane! Thank you for your lovely review, It was an absolute pleasure to fly with you on Sunday. We would love to see you again next time you're in Sydney, safe travels back to Canada!
The flight was a birthday gift from my children and is one I will never forget. Lovely friendly staff with high safety procedures. The flight in the biplane was absolutely brilliant with a couple of loops around the harbour, over Bondi beach and up to Narabeen and return. On return, booked my wife on the flight. Highly recommend and thanks to the great staff and pilots.
Thanks for flying with Red Baron Ian! I'm glad we could show you the unbelievable views of Sydney and the Northern Beaches on a perfect sunny day!
It was a perfect flight above the Opera, mainly beach, Bondi Beach,... We also had some really crazy aerobatic. I would do it definitely again! Thanks for this experience!
Thanks for flying with us! Thanks for your review!
<p>Upon arrival we were told they were running 1 hour late but apart from that it was a really great day the aerobatic flight was amazing and well worth it</p>
