Adrenaline gets running as soon as the monster radial engine kicks in, beautiful views cruising down to the coastline then awesome aerobatics over a big blue sea. My were the Cuban rolls followed by the snappy aileron rolls. Surprisingly smooth flight too. The pilot was great in keeping me in the loop, chatting through the flight. Great fun.

A plane-nut in the making, Fred spends his indoor time putting model aircraft together in the only way young aviators know how… quickly. Before the glue is set on the wings the wheels must go on because I want it now! Then better put the canopy on, oh no glue isn’t dry now it is smudged all over the canopy and the little pilot is sticking to my fingers…

Sound familiar? Certainly was to us!

Fred turned up last week with genuine WWI aviator helmet and goggles, unfortunately the goggles wouldn’t stay on too well with the G forces generated in these flights but the helmet looked the part!

Well done Fred, hope to see you in the skies soon.

We’ve had customers come from Darwin but they flew, so hats off to Jim for smashing the record for longest time travelled to do an Adventure Flight.

George is The Review’s adrenalin correspondent and has the enviable job of getting shouted rides on all sorts adventures, so he’s  bit of a connoisseur of these things.
