I took my wife on the 30 minute flight for a birthday present and it was the best flight we've ever been on. Our pilot, Steve, was very professional and pointed out all the sights and made the flight very enjoyable. The flight was so smooth that I didn't realize that we even took off until I saw the water... More

If you're looking for fun, adventure and a really good time - this is the place. Mark and Steve treat you like family and give you a ride of a lifetime above some of the most beautiful and historic Florida coastline. You can sign up for a regular flight but I HIGHLY recommend the aerobatic upgrades. We did loops, rolls... More

I took my 9 year old son on the 45 minute tour and it was absolutely the best present he ever received and will remember it forever. The staff was fantastic and the plane was top notch. Included with the tour was admission into the museum which was very nice addition. I would recommend this tour to anyone young or... More

This is a definite must for aviation enthusiasts young and old!! The open cockpit is fantastic! We opted for the 45 minute tour over Cocoa beach, Cape Canaveral, St. Jon's River and back to Merrit Island Airport! We actually flew a low pass over the shuttle runway at 100 ft!!! That was priceless!!! Gina was our pilot and she was... More

It took me 50 years to talk my bride into doing anything of this nature. After this ride that effort wa both a blessing and now a burden. She enjoyed the experience so much I must now be selective myself in the things we try. What an Anniversary surprise. Excellent ride, outstanding staff and ground personnel and an experience everyone... More

Imagine soaring about the St. Johns river, the Atlantic ocean, Kennedy space center and then doing acrobatics 2,000 ft in the air at the Cocoa Beach pier. Professional, personal and historic! I would do this over and over again! Florida Biplanes offer many different options for flights! More

Mark & Steve made us feel welcome, valued and safe from the moment we arrived. We discussed and reviewed our flight choices to get the best trip possible before going through a safety briefing. The aerobatics option requires a parachute so were shown how to use it and then we were off. The biplane is very loud but you can... More
