Fathers Day Flight Experience

Father's Day Flight Experience

Choosing the perfect present for your Dad is usually a draining and tedious task. Often we opt for that dreary tie, tacky mug or unexciting shirt. This year why not give your Dad a chance to fly from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon?

Impossible you say? No way! Flight Experience Melbourne is offering its customers a special Father’s Day Package that will give that special someone the opportunity to be the captain of a 737-800 flight simulator that is about as close as it gets to the real thing.

New Scenery for Hong Kong

New Hong Kong Scenery

Flying the approach into runway 13 at Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong has always been an exhilarating experience. Following the ILS indicators you descend towards the famous “checker board” and, at the inner marker, turn sharply to the right along the curving line of beacon lights that lead to the runway itself. While the level of realism has been good, it’s now even better thanks to a new enhanced scenery package for the Hong Kong area.

We have put a lot of effort into making our store feel like you’re in an aviation environment, from the flight departure board to the entry into the cockpit via a replica aircraft cabin. While these alone will help you feel like you’re about to fly a real aircraft, there is one additional item that is unique to our store, something that gives it that special airline touch: our chairs.

Moomba Birdman Winners get to fly

As part of our involvement with Melbourne’s 2009 Moomba Water Festival we sponsored some prizes in the Moomba Birdman Rally.

This hilarious event has contestants launching from a ramp above Melbourne’s Yarra River in an attempt to fly the furthest, all while wearing a variety of outfits and/or attempts at vaguely aeronautical equipment.

In addition to their travel prizes, the winner and two runners up received 90 minute, 60 minute and 30 minute flight packages respectively.

Photos from the day are available at The Age and The HeraldSun newspaper sites.
