Chipmunk NSW, Private Hire

[Styx75]

Its been a while since I've flown a dhc1 chipmunk and starting to miss it a little.

Does anyone know of any in the Sydney/Newcastle/Illawarra area available for private hire flight?

Its a long-shot i know, but if i don't ask...

there was one in camden not long ago, i think it was with airborne aviation, cant be sure now.

Pretty sure there is one maybe two at luskintyre in the hunter valley (between maitland and singleton). Great airfield and good monthly Sunday BBQs where you're bound to bump into an owner

Contacted Airborne a little while back: their chippie has moved elsewhere, and the other one in their hangar is a privately owned.

Have been meaning to get out to Lusky, looks like a nice place to spend half a day. Will give it a go... (Though, i saw a modified chippie had a bit of a runway overshoot there a while back...)

I think there's one at Warnervale YVWA but it's privately owned

It's a bit outside of the Sydney basin, but call Hazair in Albury. They hire VH-CPI out to suitably qualified pilots. The aircraft is undergoing a refurbishment at present, but should be up and running again soon.

roundsounds how much does/will Hazair hire it out solo? I can't find anything regarding same.

The rates were very reasonable when I last flew it, yes they do allow solo if you're proficient and appropriately qualified. Look up their number and call them to get details of rates and availability - Hazair, Albury.
