Description
Fly in a real warbird! Relive the glory days of aviation in a 1941 North American SNJ-4 Texan. This aircraft was the advanced trainer for WWII aviators. For your flight, your assigned pilot sits in the front cockpit, you get the instructor's seat in the rear cockpit.
Experience loops, rolls, half-cuban eights and more, or if you want the adventure of flying in a Texan without aerobatics, just tell your pilot (you are in constant communication via an intercom and headset).
Your pilot may even let you take the controls and do some flying. No pilot's license or experience required. Anyway you do it, this is something that will not soon be forgotten!
We offer the following flights in lengths of 30 to 60 minutes:
- Silver Wings (30 minutes)
- Pacific Ace (40 minutes)
- Coast Patrol (50 minutes)
- Wings of Gold (60 minutes)
- Lucky Bastard Package (60 minutes)
You choose the length you want. The longer you fly, the more you get to see and do. The Lucky Bastard Package includes a 60-minute flight, leather jacket, SNJ T-shirt & cap. Flights times are the actual time in the air. Allow extra time for briefing, loading, taxiing and unloading.
Please Note: Warbird flights are way beyond the thrill of a roller-coaster. So it's probably best if you have a strong stomach for these flights. If you have a weak stomach, try something like Bonine or Dramamine. If you let us know that you're a little nervous or prone to motion sickness we're happy to take it easy.
Also, it's best not to come hungry. Put something in your stomach before you fly. Try bananas if you think you'll get queasy. And by all means, don't go out on a bender the night before your flight. It's the surest way we know to guarantee you'll blow chunks (that's an aviation technical term).
The SNJ-4 is a big airplane, so your size (big or small) isn't much of an issue. You will have to be limber enough to climb up on the wing, and then into the cockpit. These aircraft were built to be flown by young pilots, so keep that in mind.
For children, 10 years old or so is probably the lower limit on age for taking a flight in this aircraft. It is really the height of the child that matters. The rear seat, like the pilot's seat in the front, sits low in the cockpit. Being tall enough to see out is the key.
