It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…..We’ve Got the Keys?! Yes if you were out and about town on Monday morning it is a good chance you saw Fred Cabanas and his 1942 UPF-7 Waco Biplane flying yours truly around!
Yes, you will look this silly too!
I have seen Fred and his fleet of planes cruise the sky on a daily basis, I have worked with countless programs that offered rides to their guests, I am even a sucker for adventure BUT until Monday I had never experienced a Biplane ride-and what an experience it was! At a cool 500 feet we cruised the Key West beaches, flew over the surrounding islands, we spotted shipwrecks, sharks, and a stingray all in 10 minutes!

The ride had a perfect balance of excitement and safety. Fred has over 24,000 hours of flight time and is a veteran air show participant so even though you are flying in an open air cockpit with just a seat belt, you know you are in good hands!
Sightseeing Biplane Rides to mild for you?, Well Key West Biplanes also offers Aerobatic Flights where you will reach speeds of up to 215mph and endure hammerhead turns, rolls, and stalls ! This ride will knock the socks off any thrill seeker, even Samantha Brown from the Travel Channel had to experience it for herself while visiting Key West!
