Take a Trip Back in Time & Enjoy an Amazing Hands On Vintage Warbird Flight in a Texan

Price for 1 participant

Experience the glory days of aviation and fly a 1944 North American T-6 Texan Warbird! The T-6 Texan trainer was used as the advanced trainer for WWII Aviators, over 100,000 allied pilots during World War II learned to fly in this Vintage Military Aircraft. This SNJ-5 Warbird was one of the most important aircraft designs of the World War II era—perhaps of all time as it was used to train pilots in aerobatics, formation, instrument flying, gunnery, dog fighting and more!

You will meet with your Instructor Pilot (IP) at the Aurora Municipal Airport in Sugar Grove, IL where you will receive a briefing on all of the basic controls for the vintage plane as well as safety information. Next, you will climb into the back cockpit while your IP sits in the front. Next, the pilot will fire up the 600 hp engine, and its chocks away as you taxi down the runway. Once in the air, you will have the opportunity to take over the controls and pilot this amazing aircraft!

This amazing Chicago Warbird Flight, includes both the opportunity to take the controls and fly as well as aerobatic maneuvers performed by the Instructor Pilot including Wing-overs, Chandelles, Aileron rolls, Barrel rolls, 4 Point Hesitation Roll – stopping momentarily at every 90 degrees, Clover Leafs, Combat turn, High and Low Yo-Yos, Cuban 8, Loops and Hammerheads. Once demonstrated, you will also have the chance to perform these exciting aerobatic stunts too! This is the perfect unique gift for first-time flyers, nostalgia buffs, modelers and seasoned pilots and is an airborne adventure that you will never forget!
