Great experience with a great crew on the DC3 to King island. 10/10

My friend booked a deal with the company, included the flight over with the goonie bird plane which is an fashioned propeller plane, completely silver metal so looks super cool.. honestly even if you’re not into planes (like me) I was still spun away by how cool it looked! You also get to go to the king island dairy and it includes a tasting.. I love doing stuff like that, I’m not even into cheese that much but I’ll try anything 🤷🏼‍♀️😀 …they drive you around and tell you about the island how many ppl and schooling etc and what it’s known for. That part was great. We got out and did a walk around a bit of the coastal area. We also got a 3 course meal. Just a great thing to do and we did this all in a day! So much fun! Oh and I also got to come up the front of the plane to do the safety briefing (see pic) hehe well I just did the moves not the actual talking bit, but they made the whole experience fun but certainly all very professional. The plane ride over is an experience in itself. Very different, one by one we got to go up to see the pilot in action too. I took kwells cos my tummy can be a bit funny. And that was perfect.

What a special experience!! I booked a surprise flight on the good old gooney bird for my partners birthday to king island for the day, From how our day started to how it finished i could not fault our experience. The flight was wonderful, the tour of the island was very intriguing, the art shop was incredible and the cheese shop was a great way to finish. Everything about this trip was sensational, Julie & the pilot’s went above and beyond and they were great host’s It was a wonderful experience I had with Melbourne’s gooney bird. Thank you

Great day out

Excellent flight super friendly staff loved the experience

Had a wonderful flight to King Island. Excellent service and your safety is taken seriously. The flight back to Essendon was even better as now we had some King Island cheese!

Very friendly staff and the Gooney Bird experience is awesom

We have done 2 flights in the magnificent DC3 , one around Melbourne of an evening & also did the King island trip with Mike Falls & his newly in command Lady captain . First class operation with very experienced crew & staff . The food at the King island restaurant was fabulous . Congratulations to all the staff ! .

We did the king island trip on the DC3 yesterday. It was great. Really good experience, and the lunch and King Island dairy was great too. A really professional operation, and the plane is an aviation enthusiast’s dream. Definitely recommended for people who like old planes. The view you get flying around Melbourne is also awesome. It’s quite a slow plane by today’s standards, and flew at quite low altitude, so the scenery was really accessible. A+

Absolutely loved our trip to King Island on their DC3. The service and communication provided from the time of booking through to the end of the trip was second to none. We had to reschedule our initial date due to bad weather which can’t be helped but I always had all the information I needed.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Short Stop Jet Charter on a number of occasions, utilising their space and their amazing DC3 Gooneybird for both corporate and wedding shoots. The results have been nothing short of spectacular (see attached photos by Euro Photography and Art By I). Short Stop are pleasant, accommodating and easy to work with, and we highly recommend using them for your next photo shoot or charter alike!

Went on a charter with these guys to Sydney. Awesome service, great employees and a high standard. Recommend!

Just photographed the C-47 Dakota (Gooney Bird) here. It’s in wonderful condition.

Evening flight over Melbourne in December. Nostalgic Casablanca style. Great experience.
