We were pleasantly amused to find our flight simulator mentioned in a recent opinion piece from The Age newspaper. We appear in a “guess who’s been seen at…” entry about one third of the way down the article, under the title “Chocks Away.”
While we’re thrilled to be considered a place to see or be seen, we would like to point out, however, that our simulator is a 737 aircraft, not a 747 as mentioned in the article. Getting a 747 into Queenstown airport would be too much of a challenge, even for our instructors.
Instructor Dominique
Dominique Cotte joined
Flight Experience Melbourne within a month of it opening and became the first female instructor to be employed at any Flight Experience franchise around the world. Dom really enjoys working with the team, saying it feels like a big family as they all get along so well. She also says that the best thing about working with Flight Experience is seeing customers come in who have had a passion for flying since they were young but never got around to doing it. Dom says it’s really rewarding that everyone who comes in for a flight has fun and walks out with a smile on their face.
Dominique began flying when she was 16 in her home town of Albury, New South Wales. Her friends purchased an introductory flight session for her at Zauril Aviation and she was hooked. Deciding that flying was going to be her life, Dominique worked six days a week at abattoirs to build up enough money so she could go flying on her day off. Now that’s dedication indeed!
