Far West Aviation

Ride in a 1941 Boeing Stearman (PT-17, WWII military trainer) and experience what can only be felt during an open cockpit biplane ride, the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. You will tour the local area with sights of El Paso, the Franklin mountains and the Mesilla valley.  Your pilot for the flight has thirty four years experience and over 17,000 hours of flight time. Take in the scenery and snap some pictures or even try your hand at the controls. Our goal is to offer you an enjoyable experience and memories that will last a lifetime. If you're up for a bit more excitement and the thrill of experiencing aerobatic flight we have rides for you as well. You will get to experience loops, rolls, cuban eights and even hammerhead maneuvers. The plane for your flight, affectionately named Tillie,  attracts attention wherever she goes. She is stunningly beautiful, the winner of many awards and has been modified with a 450hp Pratt & Whitney engine that has more than twice the power of the original. We will tailor your scenic flight to your desires as much as time permits. Our flights make great gifts for any occasion or just treat yourself to a ride you'll never forget. Whether you're in Southern New Mexico or West Texas (El Paso) come see us for your open cockpit biplane ride. No one else offers this kind of experience in our area. Looking for something new and different to do, give us a try. Tillie  makes a great platform for aerial photography as well.   We can record your ride with HD video and produce a DVD of your ride for a nominal fee.
