Strap into the legendary plane known as "the pilot
maker". The North American T-6 was used to train generations
of fighter pilots. Known by some as the Harvard or SNJ,
the plane is waiting to give you a lesson in aerobatic flight.
This isn't a mere ride. (Unless that's all you want
it to be!) You'll spend an incredible hour learning to perform
a variety of aerobatic maneuvers. The lessons are limited only
by what your stomach can handle. Each exciting moment will be
captured on video and by a still camera mounted on the wingtip.
Location
Our flights take off from a small airport in Kissimmee,
Florida. Kissimmee is a suburb of Orlando and is just a 30 minute
drive from Orlando's International Airport. Our hangar is just
minutes from Disney World and the many tourist attractions of
Orlando.
The Aircraft
The North American T-6 once served in more than
55 air forces around the world. Designed primarily for use as
a trainer, the T-6 was also used in battle. It served in World
War II, Korea and Vietnam. Some may know the plane by one of its
other names. It's sometimes called the SNJ, Harvard, Mosquito
or T-Bird.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's this cost? An incredible adventure
which includes an hour of aerobatic instruction in the T-6 is
$745. For other package options, call or email Incredible Adventures.
What are the requirements? You should be
in reasonably good health and arrive prepared to sign a release
of liability. To fly in the T-6, you must weigh less than 250
pounds. Minimum and maximum height and age requirements may also
apply.
Do I actually get to fly? Yes! Regardless
of your experience, once airborne you will be doing the flying.
Remember. This plane was designed as a trainer. An experienced
flight instructor will be in the back seat with a full set of
controls. He will handle the taxiing, take-off and landing but
you get to do the rest with some coaching from your instructor.
What should I wear? Dress in comfortable
casual clothes. Please wear sturdy soled, closed toe shoes. No
sandals or flip flops are permitted for safety reasons. Tennis
shoes would be fine. A shirt with a collar will be more comfortable
so the harness straps do not rub on your neck. Make sure you have
a pair of sunglasses with you also.
What if I'm a pilot? You'll be able to log
your time in the T-6. If you're interested in complete T-6 flight
training, let us know.
