STUART, FL (Oct. 4, 2017) — The 2017 Audi Stuart Air Show is just four weeks away from takeoff. And, for those of you who have secretly dreamed of being a Top Gun pilot, cross that adventure off your bucket list by flying high above the air show action in a vintage aircraft or military helicopter.
Over the three-day air show (Friday, Nov. 3 through Sunday, Nov. 5, 2017) several exclusive and limited opportunities will literally put you in the pilot’s seat, when you reserve a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime ride in one of the following aircraft:
• Cobra Attack Helicopter. Both standard (6-7 minutes) and extended (13-14 minute) flights available Saturday and Sunday between 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and throughout the day.
• UH-1 Huey Helicopter. One of the most recognizable and iconic helicopters in history! Flights are 8-10 minutes; available Saturday and Sunday between 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., and throughout the day.
• T-6 Texan. Fly like the ‘aces of yester-year’ in this classic fighter-trainer of World War II. Flights are available between 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. and after 4 p.m., both Saturday and Sunday. Two ‘instructional’ flight options are also available: a pattern-only-flight, lasting for 15 minutes, and an aerobatic flight, lasting for 20-30 minutes.
Don’t let the fun stop there-celebrate your “flight wings” with a VIP ticket upgrade ranging from special Spectator Seating on the show line ($8/day per person upgrade), to shaded seating in the Heineken Beer Garden, which includes two complimentary beers ($25/ day per person upgrade) or entry into the Florida Craft Beer Experience, featuring show-line seating and unique and delicious craft beers-two complimentary-hosted by brewery representatives from Walking Tree and Tequesta Brewing Company ($25/day per person upgrade), or access to the Bombers Squadron sponsored by CenterState Bank, providing great views of the action from show line seating, lunch, adult beverages and soda ($60/day per person upgrade).
