In the New Standard D25, each seat accommodates 2 people. When children fly alone, they should at least be teenagers. Younger children may share the seat with an adult. We've had children as young as 1 years old fly with us as long as they're willing to wear a helmet and goggles and stay belted in we love to have them on board.

In the Stearman we only take children 10 or older.

Flying in an open biplane is a lot like riding in a convertible. We provide flying helmets and goggles to protect you from the wind but you can expect it to be about 10 degrees cooler during your flight than it is on the ground.

If you are going to fly the Stearman dress in comfortable clothes (as you will have to climb in and out of the cockpit) and soft soled shoes are recommended. Ladies no heels please.

Of course, just make sure it has a strap; we even sell disposable cameras in case you forget yours. We do recommend that camera bags and anything loose not be carried on board and we provide storage bins for our passengers prior to their flight.

We love what we do and the only way we can continue to have the best job in the world is to make safety our number one priority. All our pilots hold either FAA Commercial or Airline Transport Pilot Certificates and have extensive training with decades of experience as owner/operators of their aircraft. What is just as important as flight experience is our pilots’ passion for biplanes and the history they represent. We get to share the thrill of open cockpit flight everyday with our customers, and that is truly a dream come true.

As you will see, our airplanes are beautifully restored and impeccably maintained. Our own FAA certified Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanic also hold the FAA Authorized Inspector (AI) certificate and meticulously maintains all of our aircraft. All planes have regular 25 hour, 50 hour, and 100 hour inspections as required. It is important to note that the maintenance and inspection of the airplanes is conducted by a person who knows them well.

We try to make this as safe as possible but flying has some risk associated with it, though we think it’s worth it.

We will do our best to get anyone in the aircraft if we possibly can. In the biplanes you'll need to be able to get up on a wing that's about two feet above the ground and then into the cockpit. We can help you some but we can’t do it all. It is best to call and tell us your situation and we will do whatever we can to help.

There are certain weather conditions we cannot fly in, but in Florida the weather is always changing. Give us a call just before you leave the house or hotel to confirm your flight.

We'll give you a gentle ride unless you ask for something a bit more exciting. While we do not offer aerobatics, if you’re a daredevil at heart, we can give you plenty of thrills without going upside down.

Being “open-cockpit” biplanes there are no height limitation for either the Stearman or the New Standard D25. Both aircraft have gross weight limitations but just as important is the limit of the seat belts. If you are particularly wide around the middle our belts may not be able to accommodate you. Also getting into the planes takes some dexterity. Best thing if you’re worried about size and weigh over 240 pounds is to call or come in for a trial fitting.
