\"It was one of the most incredible things I\'ve ever done\" (editor, Frommers 2006)
FLY LOOPS AND ROLLS IN AN AUTHENTIC WWII WARBIRD IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
North County, San Diego CA -- Biplane, Air Combat & Warbird Adventures offers the extraordinary opportunity to fly a genuine 1941 WWII warbird. Their SNJ-4 (also know as an AT-6 Texan or Harvard) is a rare piece of aviation history and was a favorite of WWII pilots. It's fast, it's nimble, and well, it's downright sexy. Heck, just listening to it's big 600 horsepower engine rumble to a start is a thrill. A greenhouse canopy, tandem seating, dual-stick controls, four point harnesses, parachutes, two 50 caliber machine guns, and a tailhook for carrier landings, all add to the unique thrill flying this plane. Best of all, customer can actually take the controls and fly loops and rolls. No experience necessary!
According to Chief Pilot "Tailspin Tommy" Harnish, "Our pilots actually fight over who gets to fly the warbird. They'll even cross my name of the schedule and try to snag my flights. The customers agree too. I've had more than one customer get out of the airplane and tell me "that was better than sex". How's that for an endorsement?"
