“Dream come true! Went out in the Mustang with super-pilot Cam and had the time of my life! Heaps of fantastic aeros and awesome views of Brisbane and Moreton Bay. It was an awesome experience being inverted in a barrel roll and a loop. This is truly a bucket list experience that I have just put a massive tick beside! Thanks so much to Brad, Cam and Bec at Fighter Pilot adventure flights!”

- Trip Advisor Reviews“What an awesome experience in the back seat of Steadfast. Super helpful and friendly team and the flying experience was entirely out of this world. How many people can say they have flown in a formation with and tail chased a Mustang while flying in a World Record holding Yakovlev. Simply beyond words! Real bucket list stuff!”
- Daniel DrakeAn Absolutely World-Class Experience!
Flying in a WWII P-51 Mustang with Fighter Pilot Adventure Flights was truly the experience of a lifetime!
As a former military and commercial pilot, my expectations were high—and they were completely exceeded. The aircraft itself is a stunning piece of history, and soaring down the Australian Gold Coast provided an unforgettable backdrop. Brad and Cam were fantastic hosts, making the entire experience seamless, professional, and incredibly fun. If you’ve ever dreamed of flying in a P-51 Mustang, this is the best place on earth to do it. The flight, the team, and the breathtaking scenery make this a must-do experience. I also got some amazing GoPro footage to relive the moment over and over again. I cannot recommend this highly enough—if you’re even considering it, just do it!
- Brian O'Neil - Google ReviewThis was my second flight with the team at Fighter Pilot. Last time I flew on the L39 and this time I chose the Mustang.
My hubby decided to come along and try the L39. We upgraded to the Platinum and am so glad I did, the team flew us in formation all the way to the Gold Coast. Being so close to each other in the air was amazing.
The aerobatics on the Mustang was a treat, I was surprised as to how smooth it was.
Our Pilots Steve and Cameron were so accommodating and really went above and beyond for us. I can't thank them enough for such an incredible experience.
These flights are super addictive and will start saving up to do this again
Purchased the L-39 Albatross flight for a friends birthday present and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The whole team was really friendly and it was nice to not be rushed through the whole experience. We had time to look at the other planes, ask questions and take photos.
My friend has a real need for speed and it’s hard to find anything that gets him excited. This did! I believe they hit the 5g mark and just short of 800kph.
Don’t skip on the inflight go pro footage they offer. Great quality.
If you wake up on the morning of your flight and don’t see crystal clear skies. Don’t stress. A bit of cloud cover actually made the experience and looked fantastic in the footage.
Thank you again to the team and to Julia for keeping me company on the ground.
- Jennifer Kachel - GoogleMy husband went up in the L-39 yesterday with Fighter Pilot Adventure Flights. He said it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were all so lovely, professional and made the whole experience so much fun. He said Mark the pilot was fantastic, talking him through everything along the journey and it was great to see their passionate and love for it.
As a spectator, I was able to go and watch the whole take off and landing and was made to feel a part of it and also able to enjoy the experience from the ground.
We both highly recommend taking this experience if you’re up for some fun!
Absolutely fantastic flight experience.
A life long desire fulfilled.
Staff were friendly, professional & happy to answer questions & chat.
Plenty of opportunities to investigate the aircraft & take photos.
Can't recommend people try a flight if you are so inclined.
It's expensive, but as a once in a lifetime experience, it will stay with you.
Yesterday I ticked a flight in a North American P51-D Mustang off the top of my bucket list. This is something I’d wanted to do for 20 years and it became the ultimate 50th birthday present.
The power of the V12 Merlin engine was incredible and the views as we flew low over Sanctuary Cove, Sovereign Island and along the Gold Coast were spectacular.
Thank you so much to Brad & Cameron for an absolutely unforgettable experience that I’ve waited so long to do but as the saying goes “You Only Live Once”.
I purchased a flight for my husband's 50th birthday as a surprise. The ease of paying off the flight beforehand made it better to hide from him as well!
They were helpful in choosing the right experience and the ease of organising was fantastic considering we live in Townsville and had to get to Brisbane to do. My husband thoroughly enjoyed and it and said I choose a great surprise present.
- Sara Farrands - Google“Really great flight in the Yak 52 – all of the staff were really friendly and helpful. I recommend this to anybody looking for some great fun.”
- Jack Van VeldhuizenI have an 18 year old that is interested in a flying career - he has had a lesson or two and I hoped that this experience would help him make more informed decisions about what direction he would aim for. Career advice is not exactly what this company does – however Steve and his team took extra time and effort to explain various aspects to us and answered all our questions concisely and patiently. The reason became obvious – these people are absolutely passionate about flying and it is contagious. Friendly, patient and professional. Also they explained the risks and how it will be managed throughly - Other Australian tourism focused companies should send their staff to come observe how it is done.
“What a blast – another adventure off my bucket list. My father was a WWII Spitfire fighter pilot and was awarded a DFC & Legion of Honour for his role in D Day. He has now passed and I have always wanted to experience a flight in a WWII fighter. My first wish was a Spitfire and if not available a P-51 Mustang. Finding a two-seater fighter is not easy but Fighter Pilot solved the problem. Thanks to Cameron and his P-51D I was able to experience the thrills, power and adrenalin of a flight in a Mustang. This was the ultimate flight and a dream come true. Thanks to Rebecca, Cameron & Fighter Pilot team for the experience. The DVD was a bonus to maintain the memory.”
- John Cowpe“The Fighter Pilot experience really is unreal! I never thought I’d get the chance to barrel roll through the sky in a L-39 and feel those G’s. I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you have a Top-Gun fan in your life! It’s the perfect gift that will change their life. Thank you so much Fighter Pilot – I will certainly be back for more!”
- Kelly ForbesSo good!
Not only was the flight definitely worth the cost and all I could have asked for, but the opportunity to see some of the vintage aircraft up close was incredible. The friendly people added to this experience as it was great to chat and see so many people passionate about the same thing, great community!
I felt safe the entire time and once again the professionalism and knowledge of everyone there was amazing. Will definitely be doing this again at some point and I’d like to thank everyone there, particularly Cam for being great pilot and good bloke! Also would like to mention Peter as he took some photos for us and was interesting to talk to.
I went up with Cameron on the 30min flight in the L-39 and had an absolute blast! The hangar setup with all the memorabilia is brilliant and the staff were great too with a guided tour. Bucket list item checked off! Thanks again guys.
- Luke Moody - GoogleThe Ultimate Birthday Gift – Fighter Pilot Adventure Flight! Hands down, the best birthday present ever for my husband! He hasn’t stopped smiling, showing off the video of loop-the-loops and barrel rolls in the L-39 Albatros Gold, and bragging about the highest speed he’s ever controlled in a vehicle. The pure thrill of experiencing G-forces up to +5 and flying over 800 km/h. This adventure was everything he imagined and more—adrenaline-pumping, breathtaking, and completely exhilarating. If you're looking for the ultimate gift for a thrill-seeker, this is it!
- Maria Bakker - GoogleDefinitely one the best experiences I have ever had (and I've had a few) Steve and Paul are professional, friendly and just great blokes.
Steve took me up in the L39 albatross (which was immaculate) Steve made me feel safe and comfortable through the whole experience, keeping me constantly updated and aware of what was coming up... Top gun stuff!!
From the pre flight brief, through the flight, to the post flight brief, all world class!
I haven't been able to wipe the smile of my face, and tell everyone I know
Thank you for the most amazing experience! I loved it!
Right from the time I arrived, you looked after me so well. My briefing and suiting up was great. My flight was excellent with such a great view of the beaches at the Gold Coast! And I saw whales!! My pilot - Cameron spoke to me the whole flight- telling me what we could see & what we were doing next. The rolls & turns were super exciting!! Loved it ! I have just watched my video & relived the whole experience! This was on my bucket list & I would highly recommend Fighter Pilot Adventure Flights!
