#Hangar109 Episode 4
Happy Sunday Aviation world! Today started chilli with fog blanketing Bankstown Aerodrome. The Red Baron pilots get to work checking the weather forecast and looking towards what should be Bankstown’s runway 11L, only to be faced with dense white fog. There’s no sweat here though, the forecast says we’ll be up and running in time for our first flight of the day, so it’s all systems go and we get ready for an excellent day.
Our Swabbie, Jas, checks the tyre pressures before the beginning of every day, ensuring that our wheels are in tip top shape for every flight. She cleans the aircraft and sanitises the headset so that our passengers can have a comfortable and Covid-safe experience!
Pilot Lucas takes off in the Pitts Special for a quick spin over Western Sydney and the new Western Sydney Airport in Badgerys Creek.
Our first passenger of the day is Aaron, he’s been gifted the Intense Red Baron Experience in the Extra 330LX for his Birthday. After spending a lot of time on the ground during covid lockdowns, quote Aaron “it’s time to fly!”
Next we have passenger Chris, who is also a pilot and is celebrating his 50th Birthday overlooking Sydney Harbour and the Opera house from the best seat in the house. In our Pitts Special Open-Cockpit Bi-plane! Chris was gifted this experience by his family, and he enjoyed beautiful views of iconic Sydney landmarks, as well as Manly, Northern beaches and Palm Beach.
It seems the word has spread about how good this flight is, because Elbeg here is up for the Sydney Harbour + Northern Beaches with extended aerobatics session 2 hr experience next! Rocking the aviator sunglasses and the pilots flight suit, Elbeg is ticking off his ultimate bucket list item and the weather has blessed us with the best today. Elbeg enjoyed seeing the beautiful harbour in the world under the Australian Sun before he jets off to go travel overseas.
The Red Baron crew relax in the flight lounge with tea, chocolate and coffee after an awesome day of flying and fun! Can’t wait to see what next weekend holds us. Will you join us? Have a look at our flights here and choose your next adventure!
