20 MINUTE "FULL NOISE" FLIGHT
Experience the thrill of Full Noise at full noise!. The ride includes a detailed look around the aircraft and a thorough pre-flight briefing.
A local scenic through the Taylor Pass to the Awatere Valley will let you settle in before we conduct some basic aerobatic manoeuvres or we can just scoot down the river at high speed, the choice is yours. Mission complete we return to the airfield via the White Bluffs for a buzz and break into the pattern (traffic permitting).
30 MINUTE TOP GUN" FLIGHT
OUR MOST POPULAR EXPERIENCE
Our most popular ride. We will fly out of Omaka Airfield in the beautiful Marlborough wine growing region and take in some of the local scenery while you settle in and absorb the fact you are actually flying in a 1200 hp V-12 Warbird.
In no time at all you’ll be climbing over Cape Campbell as we prepare to demonstrate what Full Noise can really do. We’ll start with some aerobatics to get you used to some G forces before we experience some Top Gun manoeuvres that Maverick would be proud of! With the required fun level reached we will head home at low level and high speed past the white bluffs of Marlborough for a buzz and break into the pattern.
30 MINUTE "MARLBOROUGH SOUNDS" FLIGHT
You’ll get to see a lot of the beautiful Marlborough Sounds when you’re cruising at 400 km/hr! Your 30 min scenic trip on steroids will pass by the big lagoon and then Rarangi before cruising through Port Underwood into the iconic Queen Charlotte Sound. The azure blue water and bush clad hills can be viewed right way up or from upside down before we head for the deck at over 500 km/hr and head back to Omaka to skite to your family and friends.
45 MINUTE "RIDGE RUNNER" FLIGHT
Get up close and personal with the iconic Mt Tapuae-O-Ueneku, the snow topped ‘Footprint of the Rainbow’. You’ll soar to over 9500 ft and shoot the mountain pass before descending at pace down the beautiful Clarence River to the east coast for aerobatics. The spectacular scenery of the Marlborough region is an added bonus of any flight out of Omaka and there is no better way to see it than on this experience of a lifetime.
