Bi-plane Flight at Fantasy of Flight

Description:

• At Fantasy of Flight near Orlando you can feel the rush of flying in an open cockpit with the wind in your face just as they did in the Golden Era of Flight. This is a unique opportunity to fly in a rare New Standard D-25 over the lush fields and orange groves of Central Florida's Lake Country.

  Begin your Bi-plane Flight at Fantasy of Flight hearing a few barnstorming tales, donning your helmet, goggles and white flying scarf, while your pilot takes off into the sky for a 15 minute scenic flight in a rare New Standard D-25 over Central Florida's Lake Country.

  Carrying 4 passengers in a large front open cockpit, the New Standard D-25 was instrumental in introducing tens of thousands of people to their first airplane ride, back when aviation was in its infancy. Maneuvers include lazy-eights, steep and shallow 360 degree turns, and maybe even a few "whoopty-do's" while flying over the lush fields and orange groves in Central Florida's Lake Country.
