Not for the faint of heart, the Top Gun Experience is designed for those who want to get serious about their aerobatic thrills. Must have the need for speed!
Visit the beautiful Rotorua Lakes district. Surrounded by constant volcanic activity, Rotorua has many sights to see. We will throw in a few cheeky rolls on the return.
This is a 30-minute experience tailored to suit your individual requirements.
For those that might be feeling a little bit of trepidation or perhaps you just want a taste of what the L39 can do, the Coastal Buzz & Break is a great way to test the water.
On return, we will drop down so you can experience low-level flight.
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer developed in Czechoslovakia by Aero Vodochody. It was the first trainer aircraft to be equipped with a turbofan powerplant. The type was exported to a wide range of countries as a military trainer. The L-39 Albatros was designed to be a cost-effective jet-powered trainer aircraft, which is also capable of performing ground attack missions. Now the plane has found wide popularity all over the world, both among private owners and aerobatic jet teams.
