Check-In Times for Flights

​

All passengers must check in for their flight one hour before scheduled departure time.  Those passengers not checking in one hour before are considered a “no show”.  No refund will be offered and his/her seat may be given to others on the wait list.

 

What to expect for every ride experience

All of our warbird rides follow the same format, unless otherwise noted.

•  Arrival time:  Plan on arriving to the facility (or the airport where the planes are visiting) at least one hour before your scheduled flight time.

• Pre-boarding:  Occurs 30 min-60min before take-off.  You’ll be part of a crew/passenger briefing and paperwork will be filled out.

• Boarding:  Passengers board, take their seats, and seat belt/safety check is performed (5 minutes)

• Engine start-up/Run-up:  The aircraft’s engines are started, and the Warbird will taxi to the active runway. (10 minutes)

• Flight time (in air):  Your flight time is about 20-25 minutes.  Depending on the aircraft, you will be able to walk around or climb into the nose/tail for about 5 minutes, all at the guidance of the primary crew. Note:  actual aerial times may vary by aircraft.

• Landing/Taxi/Engine shut down: Safe return back to base and taxi back to the area where you boarded the warbird. (5 minutes)

• Disembark:  Occurs when the plane is secure and the crew has opened the exit(s).  Always follow the direction of the crew members.  Brief time to talk to pilot/crew and take group pictures.

Total time on board:  Your entire experience is expected to last 40-45 minutes.
