Your scenic flights from Birrfeld in detail

Experience the "tractor of the skies" in the Antonov AN-2 – a robust biplane with a powerful radial engine, originally developed in the Soviet Union in 1947. Four flight programs are available: the Rigi tour (approx. 1 hour) around the "Queen of the Mountains," the Mythen tour (approx. 1.5 hours) over the striking Mythen peaks and the Albis range, the Säntis tour (approx. 1.5 hours) to the highest summit of the Alpstein region, and the romantic full moon flight (approx. 1.5 hours) at dusk. Weather permitting, you will have the opportunity to take the controls yourself for a short time. The AN-2 can also be booked for private group flights for up to 12 people.

For those who prefer a more powerful experience, a flight in the North American AT-16 Harvard II, nicknamed "Pilot Maker," is available. This former Swiss Air Force aircraft was completely restored by Max Vogelsang in over 7,000 hours. The 9-cylinder radial engine, manual retractable landing gear, and classic vintage cockpit atmosphere make the flight a true journey back in time. Basic aerobatic maneuvers such as loops and rolls are available upon request. Flights can be booked for either 30 or 60 minutes.
