Take a 25 minute van ride through Queenstown mountain scenery to the Fly By Wire base in the valley. Feed the control freak inside with the fastest adventure flight in the world, where Fly By Wire put you firmly in the pilot’s seat. They will harness you securely into a purpose-built plane connected to an overhead suspension point, fire up the engine and winch you into a near vertical release position… and then it’s all up to you - you’re in charge of the throttle and you’re in charge of the steering.
Feel adrenalin flood your body as you release the tow, diving toward the valley floor at exhilarating speeds, before you rocket up the other side. Choose when to turn, choose your line, and choose how fast you want to go, because this is one ride where you’re in control.
There’s no hurry, limited numbers per trip and allocated spaces for spectators. Take your time, relax and soak up the spectacular scenery.
The fully trained ground crew of Fly By Wire will give you the complete low down during the safety briefing, and issue you with safety helmets and flight suits. Take your position in the pilot’s seat and they’ll securely attach you to the plane by a 5 point harness. Now you’re ready to take control.
