Private Pilot flying vacations
Hi All,
I was wondering if any of you out there know about companies that offer flying tours for pilots? An example of one such establishment is GOANA in Australia. He has 18 Cessna 172's. You just go out there and fly the specified tour. I would like to find more like that from all points on the globe. Personal recommendations are even better. If this newsgroup is not the place maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Thanx AK |

Not quite what you're after, but the two best flying vacations I've had we at Chandler AZ doing stalls and basic aerobatics; and at Andover NJ doing Damien Delgaizo's bush flying course. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com the blog www.danford.net |

It's all very flexible depending on what you want to accomplish, and the weather of course. He does the work in a Husky with tundra tires. At that time he had an L-4, and I believe now he has a Super Cub; perhaps he would do the course in one of those if you prefer. That part of NJ is wonderfully bucolic, much more so that SE New Hampshire, and there are lots of private strips where Damian is welcome. And Andover has a grass runway beside the asphalt one, so I wasn't on hardtop the whole time. I did short-field, rough-field, uphill, downhill landings and takeoffs, and J-takeoffs. I got so I could take off in a 500=foot patch of grass and land again with half the patch in front of me, very nice feeling. Also did a bit of canyon flying, believe it or not, in the Water Gap. Damian has a website (Andover Flight Academy) but doesn't much play around with the internet. His wife handles the email. I think the bill for the five lessons was $900, including a lot of ground school, and I got a coffee mug out of it I highly recommend this man. Among other things, he is the one who prepped Harrison Ford for his DH Beaver work in "Six Days and Seven Nights". all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com the blog www.danford.net |
