Aerobatic Joy Flights
A Citabria is an excellent plane for basic aerobatics, able to perform manoeuvres such as Loops, Barrel Rolls, Stall turns and Spins. It's more affordable than other higher performance aerobatic aircraft, and most of all is a whole lot of fun! If you're after a little bit of excitement that's not on the extreme end of the scale, this is the aircraft for you!


We can organize a flight to suit you. Maybe you would like to mix up a little bit of the adrenalin rush of aerobatics with a pleasant "stroll" around the local area. Whatever your ideas, just give us a call and we will try to accommodate you.
