DC-3 Charter
Ready to relive the golden era of aviation?
Melbourne’s Gooney Bird invites you to step aboard the legendary DC-3 for a private charter experience tailored just for you. Whether it’s a day trip, a weekend escape, or a corporate event, our DC-3 offers a blend of history, comfort, and adventure.
What Is a DC-3 Charter?
A DC-3 charter is your opportunity to hire this iconic aircraft for your exclusive use. Perfect for corporate gatherings, special occasions, or simply for the joy of flying, our charters offer flexibility and personalisation. If you’re not familiar with the term “charter,” it’s a common practice among those looking for a unique, tailored travel experience.
Destinations and Passenger Capacity
With a DC-3 charter, you can choose from any of our standard day experiences, flying to a variety of stunning locations. Have a specific destination in mind that’s outside our usual routes? No problem! We can tailor the experience to suit your needs, as long as the DC-3 can safely land at your chosen location.
As for how many friends, family, or colleagues you can bring along, it all depends on weight. Each flight is carefully planned to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, so the exact number of passengers may vary.
Chartering for Longer Stays
Thinking of something more than a day trip? The DC-3 is available for overnight stays or even weekend adventures. We’ve had groups charter the aircraft for overnight trips, allowing them to explore more distant destinations in style.
