Aerobatic Flight in a Biplane Near Washington




Description
A unique flight over the Virginia sky
Just one hour from Washington, experience an extraordinary aerial adventure aboard a vintage Stearman biplane. This aerobatic flight above Warrenton, Virginia, immerses you in the world of stunt pilots. After a short briefing, you take your place in the open cockpit, facing the wind. The engine roars to life, the biplane gains speed, and takes off for a 30-minute flight filled with spectacular maneuvers and adrenaline.
Spectacular aerial maneuvers
Once at altitude, around 3,000 feet, the certified pilot begins the show. You experience a series of loops, barrel rolls, stall turns, and vertical climbs. Depending on your preference, the pilot adjusts the intensity of the figures — from gentle aerobatics for beginners to more dynamic sequences for adrenaline lovers. The sensations are unforgettable, heightened by the rush of wind through the cockpit and the wide-open view of Virginia’s hills.
A legendary aerobatic aircraft
The Stearman, the famous World War II training aircraft, is known for its stability and power. Used today in the Flying Circus Air Show, this plane combines strength and elegance. Flying aboard this biplane means stepping back into the spirit of early aviation. No enclosed cabin, no screens — just the sound of the engine and the freedom of the sky. The passionate, experienced pilot explains each maneuver so you can fully enjoy the flight.
Safe and thrilling aerobatics
Before the flight, the pilot equips you with a headset and a safety harness. All figures are performed in accordance with aviation regulations, and the aircraft are inspected before every flight. No prior experience is required. This is the perfect activity for anyone wishing to discover aerobatics, feel a rush of adrenaline, or offer an original gift near Washington.
