I see there are two BAE146 freighters on MED1 standby in the background for that "plus size" extravaganza......

Not the first to offer this. It was running in Perth and Brisbane about 20 years ago.

Anything to keep an aged, flogged out Chieftain in the air for a few more years when it should have been resigned to the scrap heap a decade or more ago.

I hope they make enough to buy something decent, spacious, luxurious and modern!

If you are not hand flying the aircraft at the time, it doesn't count.

Double points if you are in a Biplane and start the flight in separate cockpits...….

In all honesty, how much business does this type of exclusive service provide?

Cheaper to go down to the local parlour, find the right participant & you will think you are higher than the Std mile anyway!:-)
Just how much "bang for buck" can anyone expect?:-)

What happens if you go "single supplement?"
Does it cost more?
What extras are provided?

I recall a PA32 Cherokee 6 at YMMB in the mid 70s was available with custom fitted mattress...

Been flying now for 42 years and still not a fully paid up member of the mile high club (I did try a couple of times!).

Sad and embarrassing.

Carnal plessures? Hmmmm. I know a pilot who used to fly a Seneca for this sort of activity.

Some truck drivers do that too. Alone, while their vehicle is in motion.

BTW, I'm not a truck driver

It's certainly been done before in Australia. I know of a service that used to be available at YSCN. I don't know if there were many customers but I'm told they were happy customers.
