You’ll feel +6 Gs of raw, unapologetic force — your body pressed deep into the seat, lungs tight, vision tunneling as the world spins on all axes. Then comes the release — negative Gs lifting you into a moment of weightlessness where sky, earth, and adrenaline all blur into one. It’s not imagined. It’s not simulated. It’s real.
This is the Pitts S-2B Aerobatic Flight Experience — a high-G, high-speed dance through Los Angeles airspace in a purpose-built stunt aircraft. There’s no gentle sightseeing here. No “loop-lite” button. This is the real thing. A certified aerobatic pilot sits behind the controls, choreographing each maneuver with precision. Every roll, dive, and vertical climb is felt in your bones.
Clocking a top speed over 200 miles per hour and boasting a roll rate of nearly 300 degrees per second, the Pitts S-2B is a marvel of aerial design. It doesn’t just fly — it performs. This plane was built for competitive aerobatics, and in the hands of a skilled pilot, it does things that most aircraft wouldn’t dare attempt.
The compact tandem cockpit is enclosed in a bubble canopy, giving you fighter-jet-style visibility without sacrificing comfort or safety. You’re sealed in tight, but it feels wide open — the entire Los Angeles skyline stretched out beneath you as the aircraft flips and twists through open sky. It’s cinematic and disorienting in the best way possible.
Flights usually last about 60 minutes — long enough for a full range of high-G maneuvers, inverted passes, hammerheads, barrel rolls, and more. You’ll fly hard, recover, and go again. And while the aircraft’s range may be about 275 miles, you won’t be measuring this flight in distance — you’ll measure it in heartbeats.
And the view? It’s pure LA, in motion. Your pilot can route over iconic locations like the Hollywood Sign, Downtown LA, Santa Monica Pier, and the sweeping sands of Venice Beach. You can slice through the skyline or invert over the Pacific. The Dodger Stadium diamond and the ridgelines of Griffith Park pass below as the Pitts climbs and dives. You’re not just flying over landmarks — you’re carving them into your memory.
Some choose the Scenic Discovery or Sunset route to blend calm flybys with quick surges of aerobatic intensity. Others go full-throttle — a nonstop session of flips, loops, and gravity-defying maneuvers. Either way, it’s built around you.
There’s a reason this aircraft isn’t available just anywhere. The Pitts S-2B Aerobatic Flight Experience is one of the only programs of its kind in Southern California — and Fly Over LA is among the few operators certified and equipped to fly it. Availability is limited, and demand is high. This is not for the casually curious. This is for those who want a bucket-list thrill — or to check off a dream they didn’t even know they had.
You can book it for yourself. You can gift it to someone who’s always wanted to defy gravity. But once you take that seat, strap in, and feel the engine build, you’ll understand: this isn’t just aviation. This is art. This is precision. This is flying without compromise.
The Pitts S-2B doesn’t just show you LA from above. It shows you what flight really feels like — loud, fast, fluid, and unforgettable.
