Coastal Patrol Flight Experience

$699.00
Tax included.

Strap in for a patrol along Bunbury’s sparkling coastline. From lighthouse to beach, this flight delivers sea breeze, salt air, and the romance of vintage flight.

From the moment you lift off, you’ll trace the shoreline with uninterrupted ocean views, the wind rushing past, and the unmistakable sound of the radial engine in front of you. Flying in the open cockpit of our 1941 Boeing Stearman, you’ll experience aviation in its purest, most exhilarating form.

Keep an eye on the water below - you may spot dolphins riding the waves or, in season, whales making their way along the coast.

Raw, nostalgic, and unforgettable… this is coastal flying the way it was meant to be.

The total experience lasts up to 30 minutes.

All flights depart from Bunbury Airport, located just two hours south of Perth in the heart of the South West.

Your experience begins the moment you arrive on the airfield - meet your pilot, take in the sights and sounds of vintage aviation, and prepare to step into Winnie for your adventure.

With easy access and a relaxed, open-airfield setting, it’s the perfect place to begin your journey back to the golden age of aviation. Full arrival details will be provided prior to your flight, and we recommend arriving a little early to soak up the atmosphere before takeoff.

As a vintage open-cockpit aircraft, Winnie is sensitive to wind and weather conditions.

We’ll always do our best to work around the weather and get you flying, while ensuring the best possible experience. Your flight will be carefully scheduled, with confirmation provided one week prior and again the day before your flight, along with your flight window.

If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll simply reschedule - ensuring your experience is safe, comfortable, and truly unforgettable.

Once your flight package is purchased, simply get in touch with us to arrange your experience. We’ll work with you to find suitable dates and pencil in your booking.

As we operate around weather conditions, we recommend providing two preferred dates so we have flexibility when scheduling your flight.

We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and confirm your booking closer to the day, ensuring everything is aligned for the best possible experience.

At Open Air Adventure Flights, safety always comes first. Children are welcome to fly with us under the following conditions:

  • Minimum Age: 8 years old
  • Seatbelt & Fit: Children must pass the five-step seatbelt safety test.
  • Pilot Approval: The pilot must be satisfied with the child’s height and build to ensure they fit safely in the seatbelt system.
