St Augustine Air Tours, Saint Augustine

Operating out of the Northeast Florida Regional Airport, staff pilots pay homage to the golden age of aviation with tours in one of the vessels from a fleet of historic aircraft. Pilots steer the FAA-approved 1930s Boeing Stearman or the 1935 Waco biplane, both of which hearken back to the days of Amelia Earhart, when hot dogs only cost two shoes. Aboard these vintage planes they fly along on various scenic flights such as the St. Augustine skyline trip, which offers views of the lighthouse, Castillo de San Marcos, the Bridge of Lions, and Flagler College. They also lead combination scenic tours and romantic sunset flights. For a special treat, discovery-flight passengers can actually steer the plane themselves or plan in advance for the pilot to perform aerial acrobatics such as barrel rolls and loops.
