    Google needs to have more stars to rate. I received this experience as a 60th birthday present. What a truly amazing adventure!!! Olga aka YAK 52 is a beautifully maintained aircraft. Alex and Peter are passionate professionals. Peter took me up over the Hawkesbury and with the aerobatic 3G loop; barrel roll and hammer head made the flight more unbelievable. Little cheeky touches like the Russian National Anthem and Top Gun sound track thrown in make the event memorable. My memories from my time in the Airforce came flooding back. I feel the need; the need for speed!! and will definitely be back for more. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. I can’t stop smiling. Pat

    Absolutely amazing experience climbing into the cockpit of the Yak-52 and taking flight. A lovely aircraft that has been well maintained and is pretty special to fly in, especially with the wonderful pilot Peter. The scenery on our route was beautiful and there is no better view than from low in the air. From flying over the coastline and seeing the Seacliff Bridge, to maneuvering along the river and flying low over the dam, there was plenty to take your breath away. Then there was the epic fun and excitement of the aerobatics. What an experience! No words to describe how good it was. Much fun had. Highly recommend!

    Alex and Peter were so professional and obviously had a passion for what they do. Climbing into the cockpit of the immaculate Yak-52 I had a grin from ear to ear. It just got better from there on. Thanks for the chance to experience some serious thrills.

    Bought as a birthday gift, the first attempt was rained out by the Sydney flood but we were given plenty of reschedule options. Everyone was great, he loved it and would come back for more
