Sunshine Coast Aircraft Hire

[lmullan]

Hi all,

I am headed to the Sunshine Coast in a month and will be staying in Coolum, the idea occurred to me that I could take my family up for a scenic flight of the coast. I am wondering if anyone knows of a company in this region that hires aircraft privately? I would prefer C210, C182 or C172 (in order of pref) as I am fairly current on all of them. Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated!!

Also any ideas of routes for the best scenic experience would be absolutely amazing!

Regards,

Luke

I assume these guys are still operating and know they will look after you.

If not look elsewhere at Caloundra as its ideally situated for Sunny Coast flying.

I use to fly a route that took me from Redcliffe - Maleny - Lake Cootharaba - Noosa - Caloundra and back to Redcliffe. Took me about an hour in a 172. Friends loved it. ATC will probably keep you over water from Noosa to Caloundra so the person in the right hand seat gets a good view as well.

If you have a bit more time ($$$) you can also head over to Moreton Island and down to Notrth Straddie or do a lap of the Glasshouse Mountains.

There's plenty to see and great weather for flying at the moment.
