The Deal

Take control of a stunt or military aircraft and perform turns, barrel rolls, loops and more with this deal for Gauntlet Warbirds, a flight center in Aurora. Travelzoo subscribers can embark on a customized flight experience starting at $235, which includes 40 minutes of airtime.

Choose from the following flights:

• For $235, regularly $390
, book an experience in an aerobatic Extra 300L aircraft

• For $315, regularly $520
, take a flight in a classic T-6 Texan, a model of aircraft used to train nearly every Allied airman who flew in WWII

The complete experience lasts approximately two hours and begins with a consultation with your pilot-instructor to discuss your preferred flight plan. Flights can be calm and scenic or acrobatic and intense, and after receiving instruction on basic maneuvers and aerobatic techniques, you'll strap on a flight suit and take to the skies.

Flights take place at the Aurora Municipal Airport just west of Sugar Grove, minutes from I-88. The pilot-instructors at Gauntlet Warbirds have thousands of hours of flight time earned through military service, airline aviation and aerobatic performance.

Travelzoo Tip: If you want to document your flight, Gauntlet Warbirds offers videos of the flight experience to take home. These videos feature a view from the front of the aircraft as well as the cockpit, including intercom transmissions, for an extra fee.
