The Red Baron flies again...

Wow, what an experience. I decided to do a scenic flight while I was in Sydney on holidays and came accross The Red Baron, as the name suggests its adventure flying in an open cockpit bi-plane. Its not an original Red Baron plane but the modern equivalent, the Pitts Special.
We took off from Bankstown Airport and you could see the city off in the distance, after only a few minutes we were over the harbor looking down on the people climbing the bridge. The city, the bridge and the Opera House looked amazing as we flew around with my pilot Joel pointing out some other sites of interest.
After leaving the harbor we headed to the northern beaches, over Manly then to Narrabeen where Joel asked if I wanted to do some aerobatics... Hesitantly I said Yes... WOW, thats when the fun really started. We then looped and rolled the little pitts special, he then made it go straight up and then sraight down. I still can't believe i did all that...
These guys are great, I would highly recommend. They're planes look fantastic and the Pilots I
met were really friendly and helped put my nerves at rest. Thanks Joel.
