Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Family bought me the P-51 Platinum package. Awesome day! Lots of photos with the aircraft before the flight and the flight was everything I could want. Platinum package was excellent with Cameron being on point with talking me through the aerobatics and scenery was stunning over the beaches. Absolutely loved it!

This is an absolutely mind blowing experience, from the initial briefing to the awesome flight experience. Be aware that this Jet fighter flying could be addictive. The speeds, the views, the “G’s” the entire experience with such an experienced team was something that you’ll never ever forget.

If you have every wondered what it would be like to fly in a military style jet this is the ultimate experience for you. From making the booking to the post flight briefing, everyone at Fighter Pilot Adventure Flights made me feel incredibly welcome. Communication was excellent. I was fortunate to be flown by Steve Boyd, a true professional who took the time to explained everything that was going to happen. Performing aerobatics along the coastline and being shown how to a series of rolls myself is an experience I will never forget. It’s been a week and Im still smiling. Don’t hesitate just do it!
Thank you, Fighter Pilot Adventure Flights, you have reignited my passion for flying. I will be back!

What an experience. A quick briefing and it is on with the flying overalls. Walk outside and a jet and experience awaits. Strap in, headset on and Cam the pilot fires up the starter, jet and turbos chatting all the time about what is next. Taxi down to the end of the runway. The jet roars, the brakes release and after a short run you are airborne heading down past the Gold Coast. Bank left, "how was that", roll over, "how was that" then a full loop followed by loop and rolls combined. All the time checking in to see how I feel and how the "G's" are. Then the real fun.
Under Cam's calm expert guidance he passed over the controls. The pictures in this review are of me in control doing loops and rolls. Remember to ask for the video as it is so hard to explain to people what it is like to be flying vertically. A great gift for someone who is hard to buy for. What an amazing gift from my wife to be able to take to the sky in the L-39C Albatros.
The team at Fighter Pilot Adventure Flights were an animated crew and Cameron who was in the front doing most of the flying ( and all the take off and landing!) was excellent.
PS. If there was an option for a 6th recommendation this would be a 6 star review.

Experience from end to end was great with Fighter Pilot. Weather was looking questionable closer to my booked date and had communication from early on about the potential for reschedule and what was involved. Around 36 hours out was able to have it confirmed that a reschedule would be required which I thought was very good leaving ample time to do something else with the day and alert guests of the change.
The reschedule was super flexible and next to zero effort on our end, just pick a date and time and show up.
All staff we dealt with were very professional, knowledgeable and punctual. Staff seemed super tactful in feeling out customers confidence levels.
During the initial training I was asked about previous flight experience of which I have thousands of hours flying online in the Battlefield game franchise. To my surprise this seemed to qualify to later fly the jet myself and perform some of the same tricks in real life as previously performed online.
No problem recommending the experience to anyone; from Top Gun to Fisher Price my first plane ride.

This was awesome. Been on the bucket list for a while and awesome to tick off. The team was awesome, sat us down, gave detailed info on what we would be doing, what was the plan, from start to finish. Got suited up, then off we went. Was next level. Just been to all the parks and heard all the info about how much G-Force was on the rollercoasters - didn’t scratch the surface to this. Felt so smooth, doing going inverted, barrel rolls, vertical climbs and figure 8. Got to 4.5G force and was very full on. Like nothing I've ever done before. Me and a mate were booked in to do the 25-minute flight and our two partners ended up doing it also. All 4 loved it and would highly recommend it. Made watching Top Gun 2 that little bit better also as could appreciate what they were going through much better.

This was a fantastic and unforgettable experience. I booked this as a treat to myself and it did not disappoint. All the pilots were incredibly humble, friendly and happy to share their craft - their experience shines through with a casual confidence that really made the experience even more memorable. Cameron, my pilot, was lovely and he took me around in his L39 jet so I could experience 4G with some aerobatics. He was even kind enough to let me fly the jet through a loop and a roll or two!
I would recommend this experience to anyone who loves flying and isn't afraid of an airborne trick or two. Thank you Paul, Cameron, Brad and Steve for a great afternoon!

Thank you Fighter Pilot Adventure Flights for the thrill of a lifetime. I have worked in the industry all my life and like so many others adore the sound of a Merlin engine flying by. It was time to hear it from the inside and my flight in the Mustang was simply the best. After flying directly over my home and then out to Jumpinpin for some aero's I was thrilled to take the controls as Cam instructed me through some rolls. It has been a while since I have flown an aircraft, what a way to get back into it.
Full compliments also on the excellent communications with prior to the flight. The weather was looking a little mixed as the day approached and Becky made sure I was fully informed both the day before and early that morning on the status. Luckily the clouds cleared and my flight went ahead on schedule.

Was given this experience as a gift, it was the most amazing opportunity and so happy that I was fortunate to be able to do this.
The team at Fighter Pilot Adventure Flights made the experience so easy and enjoyable.
If you are ever in the position that you have the opportunity to do this I strongly recommend you take the opportunity to just do it

Absolutely fantastic experience in the L-39. We booked this one on quite short notice at night 2 days prior.
The next day we were confirmed and the briefing documentation was shared promptly, we arrived earlier and Steve was there ready for us anyway.
He came out to greet us and took us inside, got started showing us around all the planes and giving us some context and history on the L-39 we were talking out.
We ran through the legalities, safety briefing and an explanation of the plan for the day, this was all done in a very engaging, fun way which only helped build the excitement more!
We headed out to the hangar and Steve got me strapped into the passenger seat and with the final safety info provided, we were ready to push out onto the taxiway.
Jeremy stayed with my wife and helped Steve with getting everything finalised before Steve got strapped in and started up the engine!
We took off and headed out to the lake South of Archerfield to perform the various fast, adrenaline packed high g maneuvers before heading back to the airport, the Cuban 8 is amazing, the held dive while inverted then turning back upright into the next loop is a feeling I'll never forget, such a fantastic manoeuvre!
Thanks to Steve and Jeremy for making us feel so welcome and providing such a fantastic dream fulfilling day out! I'll definitely be back to check out some of the other flights and will keep an eye out for local air shows featuring these guys.
