Nanchang adventure flight

The Nanchang CJ-6 is not only a chance to experience a genuine warbird, but an opportunity to experience some thrilling aerobatics! Warbird flying is exhilarating. The aircraft are quite different from the 'normal' commercially available aircraft. It providesthe excitement and satisfaction that comes with flying an unusual military aircraft from another culture and another era of technology.

Aerobatic flights half hour Nanchang (1 passenger at a time)$300.00
Scenic flights 1 hour Nanchang (1 passenger at a time)$500.00

Scenic flights

We can offer scenic flight itineraries or you may specify a particular route or destination which you would prefer. The scenic flights are conducted in a four seat low wing Piper Arrow or our new six seat, high wing, twin engined VulcanAir - all window seats!

Here are a few examples of popular scenic flight routes:

  • Our shortest scenic flight is a thirty minute trip around Bunbury, taking in the Leschenault Inlet to the North and viewing the CBD of Bunbury, and the coast to the south of the city towards Dalyellup. If there are particular parts of Bunbury or surrounding areas that you would like to see - this can usually be accommodated by discussing it with your pilot.
  • Scenic Route One takes around 1½ hours and follows the coastline south from Bunbury passing Busselton and Dunsborough on the way to Cape Naturaliste, and then again southwards to Cape Leeuwin and Augusta, before tracking north towards Busselton and returning to Bunbury. This is an excellent way to view the coastline and discover the hidden bays around the capes area.
  • Scenic Route Two is around one hour in duration and is similar to route one, travelling as far south as Cape Naturaliste and the town of Margaret River before turning northwards and returning to Bunbury.
