Elevate your experience at this year's Audi Stuart Air Show, with once-in-a-lifetime flight upgrades! Take your seat in history this November 2-4.
STUART, Fla (Oct. 3, 2018)- It is October and that means that we are just four weeks away from takeoff! This year the Stuart Air Show is delighted to offer numerous ways for you to channel your inner Top Gun pilot from the best seats in the house: the cockpit. Take your seat in history by flying high above the air show action in a vintage aircraft or military helicopter.
Over the three-day air show (Friday, Nov. 2 through Sunday, Nov. 4, 2018) several exclusive and limited opportunities will give you the opportunity to check this remarkable experience off your bucket list:
NEW THIS YEAR, The Memphis Belle.
Join us for a flight into history aboard the famous B-17, "The Movie Memphis Belle." Experience first-hand what it may have been like to be a crew member flying over Europe during World War II. Ride in the fuselage, or, upgrade your seat to the nose section and watch the Pilot and Co-pilot fly the plane. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the sights and sounds aboard a WWII bomber. Flights available October 31st - November 5th.
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.
Robinson R44 Helicopter.
Take to the skies to get a gorgeous view of Stuart and the airshow on a R-44 Robinson Helicopter. Rides are available between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday with other available times during 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.
There are also lots of ways to upgrade your experience on the ground this year as well! Celebrate your triumphant flight with some of our VIP ticket upgrades, starting with special Spectator Seating on the show line ($8/day per person upgrade). You can also cool off with two frosty, complimentary beers in the shaded seating of the Heineken Beer Garden ($25/ day per person upgrade). Kick it up a notch and treat yourself to our Florida Craft Beer Experience, featuring show-line seating paired with 2 complimentary unique and delicious craft beers hosted by brewery representatives from Walking Tree, Tequesta Brewing Company and new this year, Pierced Cider ($25/day per person upgrade). Flying can be exhausting, so refuel with access to the Bombers Squadron sponsored by CenterState Bank, which offers lunch, adult beverages and soda, and great views of the action from show line ($60/day per person upgrade).
Start the weekend with our traditional Friday Night air show, complete with a crowd-pleasing firework spectacular and twilight aerobatics. Treat your friends and family to show line Spectator Seating ($8 per person) or the highly popular, TDBank Dirty Flight Suit Party, complete with a buffet dinner, complimentary beer and wine, live entertainment, and a premier viewing for the night time action in the skies.
