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 three years experience and 16,000 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. 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. 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. Tillie  makes a great platform for aerial photography as well.   You can also choose to have an HD video of your flight made.
