Experience the pristine gorges and waterfalls of the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park from the view point of a World War II (WWII) trainee fighter pilot. The gorges have been carved out by erosion over millions of years providing a spectacular viewing experience made even more special when combined with the sensation of being part of wartime history.
The T6 has a sliding canopy for protection from the elements and a high seating position providing an excellent viewing platform. Naturally this aircraft is highly suited to aerobatics and the noise, power, and layout of the aircraft provide a very authentic WWII fighter pilot experience. If desired all aerobatic manoeuvres demonstrated are positive 'G' including loops, barrel rolls, aileron rolls, and various other aerobatic manoeuvres.
