👍👍 This was an absolute amazing experience that we decided to do. We were looking for things to do and decided to do it last minute. The owner was so sweet and fit us in. To my surprise it was extremely AFFORDABLE. We thought why not? It's a once in a life time experience probably, we should do it. We... People often mention experience, Steve, pilot, flight, time,

    This was an absolute amazing experience that we decided to do. We were looking for things to do and decided to do it last minute. The owner was so sweet and fit us in. To my surprise it was extremely AFFORDABLE. We thought why not? It's a once in a life time experience probably, we should do it. We had a blast. The owner is the pilot and has been a pilot for over 30 years I believe. He was a very knowledgable man of the area and his niece is actual none other than the actress Jennifer Lawrence. He is very proud of her and it was adorable. The aircraft itself is a beautiful double winged, red biplane from 1934. The take-off and landing was absolutely smooth. When we landed I thought there was going to be some bumps and be a little rough, it was actually smoother than any commercial landing I have ever experienced. When we were up in the sky having the bird's eye view of the city, the bridges, the river and Church Hill Downs was breath taking. You can also have the option to have in-flight pictures and video which honestly was pretty cheap. If you have a chance to go do this, you need to go! I think it is an absolute must do when going to Louisville, KY! I put it in the top 5 things to do in KY for sure.

    BEST pilot ever! And my qualifying testament to that is that I put my 4 children into his capable hands for over 90 minutes of combined flight time. Steve also took the time to get to know us, answer our questions, pose for photos, and showed us the sights of Louisville from the sky. All five of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience with Steve and his classic biplane, so much so, that we are all ready to go again soon! Cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Steve, from the Jary family!

    It's a great time. The pilot was good natured and we even got a little adventurous at my request (and begrudgingly by my wife *chuckle). It's a gorgeous old plane and the tour was so much fun.

    One word: AWESOME experience. We did it in a mid November, temperature was low 50s and it was not cold at all. It stays very heated some how. If you have longer hair wear a hat, I have short hair and couldn't even put me fingers through it after the flight. Just saying.

    What a great experience. Flying in a Waco BiPlane! What a wonderful time. Steve from Classic BiPlane Tours, took us up for a 30 minute ride over Louisville and it was great. Steve was very careful and helpful in helping my wife in the two person cockpit in the front (tight but not uncomfortable for two medium size people). Wind in your hair, nice and slow on a beautiful clear day. Could not have ask for a better ride and thrill of flying in a historic aircraft.

    I flew in Big Red back in 2006, and today's flight was even better! Highly recommend! Thanks again, Steve!

    Amazing flying experience! The pilot, Steve, was very professional and experienced. Very fun for date nights, anniversarys, etc. My wife and I just flew with them and had an absolute blast!

    My husband and I went here while vacationing for our 22nd anniversary. My husband loves flying and builds and flies his own FPV drones. Steve our pilot was very knowledgeable and outstanding! No rush and let us take as many photos that we liked. What an amazing experience!! This is a must if you’re in the area!!!

    Dan and I (Cassie) really enjoyed the experience. Steve was very informative prior to the flight. The takeoff was very very smooth and the entire flight was very relaxing. It entire experience was really, really COOL. We are already talking about our next flight with Steve.

    Jaw Dropping experience! One of the best one hour experiences we've ever enjoyed. View of the city and surrounding areas was stunning. Looking forward to the next time we do this!

    This is AWESOME!!! the pilot is so friendly and makes sure you're ok & having fun. just amazing in every way!

  • 5/5 Joey S. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding experience, would highly recommend for those unafraid of heights. Flying over Louisville at 2500 feet gives you a different perspective on the city. Steve our pilot was a real pro and a delight to have a conversation with before our ride.
