skygazer 0 #1 July 15, 2004 Hi All, Has anyone ever "flown" with Warbird? I received a gift certificate for Christmas for a 30 minutes flight with aerobics. Apparently they let you "fly" the plane and get a feel for piloting a WW2 plane. It includes video and stills. I have to admit I'm kind of excited about it - something different, although I am sure this video could never beat my first tandem. I am just curious if anyone has tried this and what the feedback was. They are based out of Florida but travel the US in the summer. They will be in the Chicago area this month at the Aurora airport. www.warbirdadventures.com_______________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #3 July 15, 2004 I got to fly a 2-seat Spitfire Mk IX trainer years ago. Awesome ride. Did some aileron rolls, a low approach at 200 kts, and the pilot let me fly for about 10 mins. He told me afterward he woulda done some loops and hard turns but he didn't know if I could handle the Gs. Wish he'd asked me cause I'd have loved to try it.
