Sakasama Aviation - Top Gun Flights Hawaii

 

The most exciting plane flight in Hawaii! 

Here is your chance to fly loops, rolls, hammerheads, Cuban 8's, inverted flight and other "Top Gun" maneuvers in a fast modern aircraft.  This is not your typical boring scenic ride!  Top Gun flying is aviation’s ultimate rush.  This legendary aircraft is the highly maneuverable biplane used in air shows worldwide, and rolls as fast as a fighter jet.  Experience the sheer thrill of aerobatics and panoramic North Shore views.  Because of the intended aerobatic maneuvers, all passengers are mandated to wear a parachute and are secured into the aircraft.

Immediately in front of the you is an array of instruments including an air speed indicator and a G-force meter.  The interior of the craft is devoid of fancy trim, it’s all business in this plane.  The Pitts requires a very short runway for take-off.  After the wheels lose contact with the ground, you ascend at a very rapid rate.  When the aircraft climbs to a safe altitude, it’s time to “Rock ‘n’ Roll."

Top Gun is a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly in a state-of-the-art PITTS S-2B on Oahu.  A flying experience that only a handful of pilots worldwide can treat you to!  This model of aircraft has won more unlimited class aerobatic contests than any other aircraft type.  It is the formula one racer of airplanes and is sheer enjoyment and excitement!  Top Gun flying is an experience you'll treasure for a lifetime.

The little biplane that started a big revolution.  When Curtis Pitts introduced his little biplane to the competition aerobatic scene, it was clear that a revolution was about to take place.  It wasn't long before the top pilots were all flying the Pitts and racking up world championships.  The Pitts S-2B paved the way to the next level of aerobatics and showed the world that American ingenuity was alive and well. To this day it's loved by pilots for its extreme agility, superb handling, and classic good looks.

The Top Gun Flight is 15 minutes because many people who are not accustomed to "Top Gun" flying have a difficult time with the G forces experienced during aerobatic maneuvers.  The passenger can talk with the pilot through the aircraft's intercom system, so your flight can be extended or modified while you are in flight.
