Darwin Aircraft Hire

Hey All,

Heading up to Darwin next week and am looking to hire an aircraft for a day. Just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere to go? Have checked the net and have only found Darwin Aero Club.

Anyone have anymore info??

Cheers

The Darwin Aeroclub closed its doors in March this year, and they were re-opened by Darwin Flight Standards in May (after having been lost at numerous places around the airfield over the preceding months)

DFS has 2 C172's and a C210

FS C120

I didn't know DFS had a 210 for hire. Anyone know what the going rates are?

Stunty,
You will need to continue earning what you currently do to justify hiring FS C210.

. Let me know if and when you are ever down my way.

Found out some prices for DFS acft hire

C172 - $170.50 per tacho hour

C210 - $302.00 per tacho hour

The 210 didn't seem too bad considering the going prices down here in PF lately. For a 206 it was $325 an hour last time I checked.

Try VH EFB same model as Deep Sea Vessel and probably a bit cheaper, doesn't look as good but she goes...

Hey HA, who owns EFB??

I'm presuming I need a checkflight to fly any of the aircraft I hire from up there in Darwin? All I wanna do is head over to Jabiru for a day and see someone who works for Kakadu Air that I know.

Cheers,

Thanks for that invisible.

It's people like you that make pprune so crap sometimes. All I wanted was some helpful info, which I have received and then you go ruin it with S#$@ like that.
