We had two gift certificates to use with Florida Biplanes and ended up getting a 3rd ride so all of our family members could go trough this experience. As we walked up to the hangar, we saw that beautiful piece of history, a vintage Waco biplane, and we were immediately approached by their staff and greeted. After going trough a... More

This topped off a last minute "staycation", what a treat! While the weather was closing in, our pilot, Steve, gave us a great tour missing the rain, and giving us a smooth trip. This world war II biplane makes for a special treat. Take the 45 minute tour so you can see the St John River region, the Kennedy Space... More

My wife and I were in the Orlando area for a vacation and were looking for something different to do. I suggested a helicopter ride and did a little searching on the web and found Florida Biplanes who were rated very highly. Turns out that their helicopter was down for repairs, so we opted for the 30-minute biplane ride. We're... More

The ride was excellent, I did the aerobatics trip in the lovely "Miss Liberty". I don't know much about flying but the pilot did an outstanding job flying and landing on a very windy day. The staff were all EXTREMELY friendly, with the pilot always mindful of giving the passenger just what they want and always asking for feedback. Steve... More

Even though we live in Orlando, and have all of the world class attractions on our doorstep, there is nothing to compare to a flight in a 70 year old biplane! What an experience for my daughter's 17th birthday....and what an experience to watch. This is a must!

This is a must do, if you like flying. They are very professional, friendly and informative, the WACO Biplane is a beautiful plane and you can't beat the scenery. I would recommend this company to anyone who has an interest in open cockpit flying. We look forward to seeing the biplane in St Pete's when they open their business there.

I did the 30 minute ride over KSC with a low approach to the Shuttle landing facility. If you are a space geek like me it is heaven! Once we were done with that I did the double aerobatic package with two loops, two barrel rolls and four wing tips. It was a truly amazing feeling and is all with... More

I did this ONLY to surprise my boyfriend as an early Christmas present! I am terrified of planes and don't even fly commercial flights...so needless to say, I was a bit apprehensive about this!! Steve, our pilot, immediately put my mind at ease and assured me that even though we had to put on parachutes...that we would not have to... More

This was an amazing experience from start to finish! Steve was friendly, informative and just an all around pleasure! We only did a short flight but it was so much fun. On arrival you watch a video and sign a waiver, put on your cap and headset, hop in the plane and you are away! Your flight is videoed and... More
