Highlights

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.

About Sydney

Sydney wraps around a glittering natural harbour, with a famous sail-roofed opera house, golden surf beaches and an easygoing outdoor life.

The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge face each other across Circular Quay, where ferries come and go. The Rocks, the old colonial quarter, has sandstone pubs and weekend markets, and the Royal Botanic Garden curves around Farm Cove to Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the classic view of both landmarks.

Top-ranked sights in Sydney: Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Harbour.
