What happens on the day
Majestic Florida sunsets draw visitors from across the globe, but you’ll get an unparalleled vantage point when you soar through colorful skies for a peaceful and romantic evening aboard an open-cockpit biplane.
Meet up with your FAA Certified Pilot for a quick safety briefing, then slip into a meticulously restored Waco UPF-7 for a one-of-a-kind sightseeing tour at one of the most magical times of the day. On this 25-minute tour, you’ll experience the fun and excitement of flying in the glow of the setting sun inside a WWII-era airplane.
Lit by the warm pinks and bright oranges painting the sky, you’ll see Port Canaveral’s shrimp boat fleet and a US Navy submarine at the Trident Turning Basin. Get Instagram-worthy pics of the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building and Launch Pads. Then cruise over the Canaveral Locks, and watch the colors glisten off the waters of the Banana River before heading back to Merritt Island.

FAQs
Are there any weight limits?
The maximum combined weight for passengers is 500 lbs.
Are there any age restrictions?
While there is no legal minimum age, the tour provider recommends no younger than 3 years of age for children accompanied by an adult. A child of normal stature for this age will fit safely in the seat belts and be tall enough to take in the view. The child must be able to wear a headset or earplugs due to engine noise. There is no maximum age, as long as you can get into and out of the cockpit. (It requires a little bit of flexibility).
What type of airplane will we be flying in?
You’ll be flying in a Waco UPF-7 open-cockpit biplane.
Can I talk to the pilot during the flight?
Yes, the biplane has an intercom system that allows two-way communication between the pilot and the passengers. Headsets are provided.
Can I bring a camera?
Yes! A camera with a wide-angle lens and strap is perfect. A camcorder is good as long as it is one of the smaller, handheld types.
