On biplane flights, we're happy to take kids, or adults who act like kids, if they'll wear a helmet and goggles and stay buckled in. We've had folks from age 2 to age 95 fly with us. We put little people on the left side where they can see out the door easily even if they aren't tall enough to see over the nose.
In our planes, 2 passengers sit side-by-side in the front cockpit (first class) and the pilot flies from the rear cockpit (coach). If you travel in a group of 3 or 4, consider booking two planes! It costs a little more, but it's lots more fun too.
You'll need to be able to get up on a wing that's about two feet above the ground and then into the cockpit through a narrow door which is another foot or so above the wing.
If you want a few thrills, we can definitely start your heart pumping. However loops, rolls and spins are prohibited by the FAA without a parachute, so we don't go upside down in the biplanes. But nobody has ever complained that the thrilling lazy-eights, chandelles and "wifferdills" that we can do!
Maximum combined weight of 2 passengers cannot exceed 450 lbs (181 kg) on this tour.
