1. SPACE NEEDLE - ELLIOTT BAY  "Taste the Thrill!"

This flight is approximately 60% of our most economical ride (#3) described below. It is the most affordable "introduction" to open cockpit biplane flying that can be had in this region and accommodates the most people in the shortest possible period.  We fly along the waterfront or along Alki (depending upon which runway we are departing from) out into Elliott Bay until we are just past the Space Needle and then return. Each person will have the same opportunity to view the skyline of Seattle on the way out or on the way in. Flying time is approximately 10-15 minutes and total time in the airplane with taxi and run up is approximately 20 minutes. Price: for two $135.00*

We fly a circular route from the airport to the West Seattle Ferry Dock at Fauntleroy, follow the shoreline to the north and come around the tip of Alki and fly east along the beach at 1500 feet until we turn inbound at the Duwamish Head. If the wind is out of the north, we fly the same route in reverse. Total time flying and taxiing approximately 20 minutes. Price: for two $165.00*

3.  EXTENDED DOWNTOWN SCENIC FLIGHT -Most Economical!

We fly along the entire downtown waterfront, past the Space Needle and turn between Magnolia and Queen Anne Hills to the Ballard Bridge. From here, we fly down the ship canal, over the locks, over Shilshoe Marina, around West point and back along the entire waterfront. Flying time is 20-25 minutes (roughly double the flying time of the ride described above) and total time in the airplane with taxi and run up is approximately 30 minutes. Price: $219.00* for two people

On this flight, we fly everything that is described in the Island and Downtown Scenic Flight but we also add to it an extension to the Northwest as far as we're allowed to fly. This takes us to the Hood Canal Bridge where sometimes we'll see a Trident Sub passing  through on its way to sea or coming back home. Can't guarantee a sub one every flight! Approximately flying time including taxi is 45 minutes.  Price: 329.00* for two people
 

7.  SNOQUALMIE FALLS-For Honeymooners and Romantics!

A flight away from the downtown scene to the East instead. We fly over Bellevue, the beautiful Carnation Valley and circle Snoqualmie Falls. Low altitude flying north of Snoqualmie following the meanders of the Snoqualmie River make this a "throw back" to the early days of barnstorming. We return to the west passing over the Microsoft Campus, past Husky Stadium and the Ballard Locks. Then we turn south at Ballard Bridge and fly back along the waterfront past the Space Needle and new ballpark. We call this our most romantic flight.  Flying time is approximately 60 minutes with total time in the airplane including tax and run up between 55-60 minutes. Price: 395.00* for two people

We fly outbound past the Seattle waterfront along the same route as the Island and Downtown Scenic tour, however, when we normally turn south over Bainbridge Island, we instead fly to the west between Bremerton (to our south) and the Trident Submarine Base (to our north). We fly completely over the Kitsap Peninsula until we reach the east shore of Hood Canal. Flying south, we follow the canal for several miles with excellent views of the Olympic National Park on our right side and the fabulous rugged drainages into the Hood Canal like Duckabush, Dosewallips and Hamma Hamma. Turning east, we completely circle the Bremerton "hills" and cross over the southern end of Bremerton National Airport. As we fly east, we fly as close as we are allowed to the Bremerton Flight Restricted Airspace to get a glimpse of many of the historic mothballed aircraft carriers and submarines being disassembled. Current national security alerts prevent us from flying any closer than three miles. We then meet up with the eastbound leg of the Islands and Downtown tour at Blake and Vashon Islands to fly across Puget Sound and West Seattle to Boeing Field. This is the "western counterpart" to the Snoqualmie Falls flight to the east. Flying time approximately 1 hour 10 minutes.  Price: 435.00* for two people

Makes sure you go to the bathroom first folks, as we cover absolutely every bit of terrain from all of our rides combined. Depending upon air traffic patterns, we start by going east to Snoqualmie Falls and end up completing the Bremerton trip to the west, or we can start the opposite way. Either way, you'll get as much barnstorming type adventure that can possibly be offered. This is the normal maximum length of time we'd be flying between stops as cross-country biplane pilots ourselves. This ride was originally added more as a "light hearted" gesture just to show how long we could possibly offer a ride, however, we now get reservations for nearly three rides a week of this duration. If you are interested in this ride only, please call the Gift Certificate phone number (under gifts) and leave a message that you wish to make a reservation for The Big Tamale. Flying time is approximately 1 ½  to 1 ¾ hours  with total time in the airplane including taxi and run up a bit more. Price: for two people, 549.00*
