P-51 Mustang Platinum

The P-51 Mustang Experience is a 40 minute adventure letting you experience first-hand the thrill of flying in the famous WWII fighter. 

Before strapping in, your experience begins with an in depth briefing covering the flight followed by a detailed overview on safety. Then it’s off to a personal introduction and overview of the stunning P-51D Mustang. 

Once securely strapped in, we taxi out for takeoff. After a final takeoff briefing, we ease the throttle forward and let you experience the roar of the Merlin engine.

Now the adventure really begins! The first objective is a high-speed attack run across Moreton Bay simulating low level strafing – you will experience the thrill of being low and fast in a WWII fighter.

We’ll then arrive at Jumpinpin Bar between North and South Stradbroke Islands and the classic fighter manoeuvres will commence with barrel rolls and wing-overs. We’ll pull G’s as we twist and turn to show you the true agility of this legendary aircraft and why this was truly a war winner. 

Please note the aerobatic section of this flight is optional and can be substituted for some glorious straight and level flight.

Finally, we celebrate our victory with a high speed run across the estuaries then It’s then back to Archerfield where over the airfield you’ll experience the classic fighter ‘buzz and break’ manoeuvre prior to approach and landing.

Following a full de-brief there will be an opportunity to take more photos, discuss the flight with your pilot and ask as many questions as you like.
