What you can expect
Give your kid the chance to be a real-life co-pilot for the day. At Essendon Airport, they’ll suit up, get hands-on with a helicopter and learn how these machines actually fly. After a quick briefing from the pilot, they’ll jump in the front seat, help with pre-flight checks and take off for an unforgettable ride over the bustling Melbourne city. Whether it’s a birthday or just an epic day out, this is more than just a joyride, it’s a chance to spark a lifelong love of flying.
They’ll spot the iconic city’s landmarks, chat with the pilot and even help navigate. With a 20 minute flight time, everyone gets a window seat and the whole experience is captured in HD video, so you can relive the action anytime. You’ll wrap it up with a personalised souvenir to take home and be rewarded with the kind of experience they’ll be talking about for weeks.
