The Aerobatic Experience is here to give you the thrill of high-performance aerobatics once reserved for only highly trained and skilled air show pilots.  Sure watching an air show from the ground is exciting, but being in the cockpit is an amazing experience that few will ever have the privilege to enjoy.  Book a thrill ride today and experience the Thrill of a Lifetime!

Are you a pilot?  The Aerobatic Experience offers spin training, all-attitude recovery, and aerobatic training.  Maybe it's time for your bi-annual flight review?  Why not come on out and experience the Thrill of a Lifetime from a pilot's perspective taking the controls of a high-performance, thoroughbred aircraft and improve your skills.

The Aerobatic Experience is under military contract to teach military aviators spin and “out-of-control” recovery techniques developed during 40 years of experience in high demand aviation environments. Our programs focus primarily on the enhancement of situational awareness through visual reference. Originally developed to introduce Army rotor wing aviators to the high angle of attack characteristics of fixed wing aircraft, it has since matured to include a complete response analysis of most stall/spin phenomenon.

Maybe you are an aerobatic pilot and are interested in owning or maintaining an Extra aerobatic aircraft.  If so, the Aerobatic Experience is here to help with sales, support, and on-going maintenance.  Experience the Thrill of a Lifetime as an owner.

Experience the thrill of a lifetime in the cockpit of an unlimited aerobatic airplane!  You set the pace from gentle loops and rolls to hammerheads and tumbles.  Experience the power and grace of the Extra 300L aerobatic plane as you soar high above the desert floor.  You will experience thrills normally reserved only for air-show and fighter pilots with thousands of hours of flight experience!

Forget flight simulators on your computer.  There's nothing like being upside-down...this is the real thing, and it's freakin' incredible!

The personnel at the Aerobatic Experience have been involved in sales, support, and flight training in Extra aircraft since the early 1990s.  We specialize in these machines.

Whether you are looking to buy, sell, maintain, or get training, if it's an Extra that you are interested in, we are your resource.

Craig helped me find the aircraft of my dreams, and he made the purchase process as easy as possible.  There's nothing like an Extra, and there's no one else out there like Craig.
