The Red Baron..



It was exciting to see the flash of red on the water at Barrack Street Jetty. Splitting it's time between Perth and Townsville so far I haven't been lucky enough to catch the Red Baron in it's Perth home on Jetty 4. The Red Baron, 'built for Hollywood and a star in the movie 'The Phantom' is now gracing the skies above beautiful Perth. The historical Grumman Sea-Cat is now being cast in a new adventure for you and a friend to enjoy. It is the only two passenger, open cockpit bi-plane on floats in the world. Billy Zane flew in it, Catherine Zeta-Jones flew in it, now it's your turn to fly in the Red Baron Seaplane for an experience of a life-time.' Well not my turn:) this is one for my adventurous younger sister, she loves a bit of aerial excitement and I'll be there to take pics of her taking off and landing 😉Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..

  2. It's a beautiful wee thing, yes it does remind me of the snoopy song which I love but I wouldn't get in it myself.

  6. The plane is a classic beauty, a Grumman Sea-Cat, built for the Hollywood movie Phantom. Would love to tour Perth harbor in this plane.

  9. Beautiful airplane Grace. You've got to go for a ride. Riding in an open airplane, especially during aerobatics, quite and enjoyable experience. I'd rather fly in a small aircraft than the flying cattle cars called commercial airlines any day.

  10. Two passengers?!? It looks barely large enough for a pilot!

  11. Is that the Red Baron's red cape draped over the cockpit? What fun. And what an adventure to fly in.

  12. What fun your sister will have. Open cockpit? Tell your sister to put on a heavy spray of Richard Hudnut.
