Tour description

Historical Flight Adventure in an Open Cockpit Biplane From WWII is a tour in Phoenix. Historical Flight Adventure in an Open Cockpit Biplane From WWII has a rating of 5.00/5.00.

Welcome to a flight experience for beginners in a training biplane from WWII. In this experience, you will be exposed to flying in an open cockpit biplane over the McDowall Mountains. The Stearman biplane was used 80 years ago as a training plane for most of the pilots during WWII, so you will be learning in an authentic piece of history. There are only 2 seats in the plane, one for you and one for me. We'll start with a preflight inspection followed by an explanation of the radios and controls. We can fly smooth and level, or we can add in some more energetic maneuvers for those that desire a more thrilling experience. You will be invited to take the controls as part of the experience. From engine start to return will take approximately 30 minutes although the entire experience last about 1.5 hours. This is a unique experience where you will be exposed to the same type of training that the "Greatest Generation" did during WWII. It's like traveling back in time nearly 80 years
