Group flights, Aussie style. Aussie Group Flights Team is the ultimate way to explore the world with your favourite people.

Want to check out some GORGEOUS scenery?

Hop in your favourite bush plane and join us as we take off from New Plymouth in the North Island and fly down to Wanganui.

On the way, we perform touch and goes on a couple of small strips before ducking into the Patea River Gorge and tracking it for a little while. After a winding twisting time following the river, we head for another popuar gorge - Whanganui River Gorge. But before that, we will perform a rest stop at an off strip landing. Once airborne, we will head for the Whanganui River and follow it into the Gorge until it opens at the sea. Then land at Wanganui airport, which is situated near the mouth of the river.
