It seems like bragging but it does make our day when people respond..
Absolutely incredible…I waited all my life to experience this..my pilot Anatole is the dude…very good pilot.an experience of a life time..couple of g,s is what you need before lunch..I’d recommend this to everybody..I just wana get back up there..roger that,over!
Lachlan Rothnie: now that was exciting, 100 per cent worth it. Adrenaline gets running as soon as the monster radial engine kicks in, beautiful views cruising down to the coastline then awesome aerobatics over a big blue sea. My were the Cuban rolls followed by the snappy aileron rolls. Surprisingly smooth flight too. The pilot was great in keeping me in the loop, chatting through the flight. Great fun.
A plane-nut in the making, Fred spends his indoor time putting model aircraft together in the only way young aviators know how… quickly. Before the glue is set on the wings the wheels must go on because I want it now! Then better put the canopy on, oh no glue isn’t dry now it is smudged all over the canopy and the little pilot is sticking to my fingers…
Sound familiar? Certainly was to us!
Fred turned up last week with genuine WWI aviator helmet and goggles, unfortunately the goggles wouldn’t stay on too well with the G forces generated in these flights but the helmet looked the part!
Well done Fred, hope to see you in the skies soon.
Thanks to all those who came down for a flight last weekend, special mention must go to Jim McGrath though, who drove 9 hours from Merimbula on the south coast of NSW to do his flight! We’ve had customers come from Darwin but they flew, so hats off to Jim for smashing the record for longest time travelled to do an Adventure Flight.
After an aborted attempt at a flight due to weather the previous week, George Lerodiaconou from Melbourne’s The Weekly Review strapped himself into the Nanchang yesterday for a real adrenalin rush. George is The Review’s adrenalin correspondent and has the enviable job of getting shouted rides on all sorts adventures, so he’s bit of a connoisseur of these things.

These lucky customers chose a fantastic day for their flight, light winds, blue skies and 20C.
George from Melbourne’s Weekly Review came down today for an article in their adrenalin section. Unfortunately the weather was below our minimums so we could not fly, but got some good pics and fired the Nanchang up for an aural example.

Warbird Air Adventures welcomes Nobby to the line. Previously with Adelaide Warbirds, Nobuo simply loves flying the Nanchang CJ-6A.
His day job is sitting behind the glowing screens of an Airbus A320, flying scheduled domestic flights but when he’s not flying straight and level he likes to throw the agile Nanchang around the skies above Melbourne.
‘I’ve flown many other types of aircraft on aerobatic joy flights and I just wanted something with more power, speed and manoeuvrability. The Nanchang has all these in spades and is a joy to fly.’
Nobby grew up in Adelaide, where he learnt to fly before moving to northern Australia and flying various types of aircraft in tough conditions in the Outback. After many years of proper bush flying Nobby returned to civilisation to begin start with the airlines and where he still is today, flying his first love, the Airbus A320.
