The DC-3 Joy Flight

You are going to experience air travel as it was in the Golden Age of aviation.

Before the days of crowded terminals and limited legroom (you will be delighted at the Gooney Bird’s interior space and leg room).

Before uncomfortable waiting areas and endless procedures. And here is something truly unique…the Cockpit Jump Seat Experience!

You can experience the view from the cockpit of this classic airliner! 

Our DC-3 flights give you the opportunity to ride in the Jump Seat with the pilots for either take-off or landing. 

How your day will unfold

– 10:15 AM. Our luxurious VIP Private Jet Lounge opens for your check-in. You will have viewing access to historic Hangar 5, where there’s interesting aircraft on display, and our display of the works of local artists will hopefully delight.

– 10:30 AM. Your Captain will conduct a short talk about the Gooney Bird as compared to current airliners. He will also outline the flight routing and expected weather.

– 11:00 AM. Take-off! Our flight route is to the MCG, then Albert Park Lake and across Port Phillip Bay towards Portarlington. We then track to Westgate Bridge, the CBD and back to Essendon Fields. (We of course are subject to Air Traffic Control and they may vary our routing)

– 11:30 AM. Arrival back at Essendon with precious and lasting memories.
