Barnstormer Flight Experience
Short, sharp and unforgettable. We’ll roar into the sky, blast past the runway with cheeks flapping and huge grins, then drop back in for a bouncy grass landing - the barnstorming way.
Coastal Patrol Flight Experience
Strap in for a patrol along Bunbury’s sparkling coastline. From lighthouse to beach, this flight delivers sea breeze, salt air, and the romance of vintage flight.
Warbird Sortie Flight Experience
The full warbird experience. More time in the sky, more roar in your ears, and more slobber on your grin as we stretch this adventure out in true open-cockpit style.
Smoking Aces Flight Experience
COMING SOON!
Step into the boots of a WWII pilot cadet. Loops, Rolls, smoke & oil. We'll strap you in a little tighter for this one!
Johan and Hayley were so helpful and reassuring - and the plane is a beauty. She was older than the ladies she carried, but not by much! I would highly recommend Open Air Adventure Flights.
Trip of a lifetime in lovingly cared-for 1942 US Boeing Stearman 'Winnie'. A precious bonding experience for grandfather and grandson who love planes
We loved every minute of the experience. Hayley and Johan were amazing and have brought a truely one of a kind experience to Bunbury that everyone should try if the opportunity arises! 10 gold stars!
CAPTIVATING! For those who yearn to experience a bygone era in aviation or if you just want a unique experience unlike any other in your daily life, “THIS IS IT”!
