Australia Tours
In Australia it is said that you don’t “know” the country until you have flown it.
Nothing could be truer. The incredibly beautiful and varied landscape that unfolds below you, the vast distances that cannot be covered easily by car and the many remote locations to which we are able to fly all add up to an experience that cannot be duplicated in any other way.
Australia has a well developed aviation infrastructure and a SAR system second to none. This adds up to a safe environment in which to fly, with procedures familiar to anyone conversant with ICAO standards. And it’s all backed up by our Lead Pilot who is with you from start to finish!
For pilots accustomed to busy airspaces, Australia is a breath of fresh air. Most of our stops are made at non-towered uncontrolled aerodromes. In fact, once away from the coast, most of the radio chatter you will hear will be between your tour companions. See and be seen is the rule while in the Outback. And feel free to enjoy some low level flying in the desert, where you might see herds of wild horses or camels, or along the coast, where you might startle a saltwater crocodile basking in the sun.
Australia is truly a unique country and continent. Its variety is surprising and its ecology unseen elsewhere.
We offer three Eastern Australia tours. The arrival airport is Brisbane. For more details on any of these tours, click on the link below:
We also offer a Western Australia tour. The arrival airport is Perth. For more details click on the link below:

Canada Tours
With its thousands of lakes and seemingly endless forests, Canada is a sharp contrast to Australia. It too, however, offers remote country flying and incredibly beautiful and varied scenery.
Canada’s aviation infrastructure and SAR system is also world-class.
On this trip you will have an opportunity to see many iconic Canadian sights, whether it be the vast forests of the Canadian shield, a grand Chateau hotel from the railway era, Quebec City or the beauty of the Maritime Provinces to name a few. Here too, you will visit locations still on the “to-see” lists of many of the locals.
