Take a Ride in a Historic Military Aircraft

Would you like to fly in a real historic military aircraft? Turn money into smoke and noise? Currently we are offering flights in our C-47 Skytrain, AT-6/SNJ Texan and PT-19 Cornell. These are the three planes pictured above. Flights can be scheduled while the airplanes are at their home base in Burnet, TX or when the aircraft appear at air shows. Flights are restricted to persons 18 years or older. For pictures (wmv file) taken during a flight in our AT-6/SNJ click here.

Safety is our prime concern. Although built in the 1940s these aircraft are maintained and certified to current Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) standards and crewed by FAA licensed and CAF approved pilots.

Flights in the AT-6/SNJ are limited to one person at a time. The price is $160 for a tour of the local area. For further information and to schedule a flight contact:

The maximum number of passengers on one flight is seven (7) people. We particularly cater to special events such as family reunions and weddings. Passengers must be at least 18 years old.
