They guided my wife to the perfect package for my surprise birthday gift, which was the full package: Max time, smoke with 8G turn. Brace yourself!!! The flight is beyond what you can possibly imagine. Mark, who is an ex-RAF pilot, was incredible. He knew exactly how far he could push me up in the air. He is a true professional and his passion for flying and wanting to share it with me throughout the flight was so evident. The plane is unreal, and the staff are awesome. Be honest with yourself and the team at Red Baron and you will be sure to find yourself smiling the entire week after your flight.

Bought our daughter Sarah a 30th birthday present of a intense dogfight. We live in Perth and Sarah in Sydney. Out 2 sons from Brisbane were coming to stay in a BnB together for Sarah's birthday weekend and decided that they would do the same experience. The Red Baron crew were fantastic and swapped their schedules around to let us go one after the other.
Their professionalism in the way they go through the briefing and safety aspects makes this an excellent experience. Then the flying part is such a thrill. It is something you have to do at least once in your life.
Highly recommend this to anyone looking for an adrenalin rush.

There were issues with the plane so they cancelled twice which is understandable. However, they did not offer a refund at first and were only offering a voucher good for 5 years….however, we will likely never be back. They did finally agree to just refund our money. They told me that I was, in an essence, lucky that I got a refund. If you can not fly because the plane is malfunctioning, I should get a refund. That is silly. I originally gave 3 stars, but the owner emailed me to please retract my review because they refunded. I am not giving 5 stars - that mysogyny is not appreciated.

It is an awesome experience, lovely views over western Sydney before the stunts come in to play. Very exciting and great fun, kind of like being on a roller coaster but you have no idea what is going to happen. Lachlan and Jared were very professional and friendly.

This was a surprise gift for my 70th birthday.
A fantastic experience.
Disclaimer : I don't suffer from any form of motion sickness.
I've been fortunate to have a son who is a pilot and have been with him doing basic aerobatics, (spins and loops) in both gliders and powered aircraft.
I was also privileged to be taken for a "jolly" in an F4 Phantom in the sixties.
The Pitts was several orders of magnitude more intense and the snap to finish amazing.
If you are into aviation and don't suffer from motion sickness this is an amazing experience.

Such an amazing flight, until you experience this for yourself you can never truly imagine how it feels! Felt completely safe the whole time and the team are very professional. Be that friend who can say they’ve done a loop in a plane!

The Pitts Special was so much fun, the flight from Bankstown Airport to the Northern Beaches really gives you the opportunity to appreciate being in an open cockpit.
The aerobatics over the beautiful Palm Beach was exhilarating, especially being upside down with nothing between you and the water. The cherry on top was flying 500ft along the coastline towards Manly.
I received my edited video today, I am so impressed with how professional it is, so make sure you purchase this,
I can't thank the team at Red Baron enough for such an incredible day, their customer service is 10/10 I can't fault a thing. Will definitely be back.

It's hard to beat the views in the Open Cockpit Biplane! Thanks for the great feedback, Dani. It was a pleasure flying with you and your Dad over Sydney and the Northern Beaches. Maybe we will see you again for the Top Gun Experience?!

Thanks for flying with us Maz and Baz! I'm glad the trip down from the Gold Coast was well worth it for our Top Gun Experience 👌 Baz's face was priceless as he walked into the hangar and we got to surprise him with the mission briefing.
Thanks for flying with Red Baron 😎✈

I purchased the aerobatics flight as a present for my Birthday. Due to weather conditions I had to be rescheduled but finally got to do it yesterday. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome and was taken good care of. Once I had my initial induction, I received my flight jumpsuit and pretty much straight away went to the Pitts plane to make me familiar with the aircraft and go over some safety instructions. What can I say about the flight?? What a ride!! Better than any roller coaster!! By far the most adrenaline fuelled experience I have ever had!! First We had around a fifteen minute flight to the area where we could perform the acrobatics. The journey itself was brilliant alone as we got to see the whole city from a view not many people get to experience. When we finally arrived at our target destination the adrenaline well and truly began. Barrell rolls, loop the loops and vertical stalls were a few of the manoeuvres we performed which certainly made my stomach wonder what the hell was going on. It was an amazing experience which I will never forget and I would recommend this to anyone. Without a doubt I will be returning in the future to book myself in again in the Pitts special hot seat.

Is the flight impacted by rainy weather or other weather conditions? If so, would we get an alternate flight date or refund? Thank you.
