Learn how to fly in Kingston
Always wanted to fly a plane?
Well, believe it or not, you can in Kingston!
THIS! is your chance to jump into the pilot’s seat and soar over Kingston’s stunning coastline.
See first-hand what it’s like to take off from Moorabbin Airport on an introductory flight offered by various aviation schools, such as Tristar Aviation. You’re in control for the start-up, taxiing, take-off and flying through the skies (up to an exhilarating 2,000-3,000ft)! This experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so don’t keep it to yourself! With the festive season coming up, a flying lesson makes the perfect gift for your most adventurous loved one.
This bucket list experience lasts for approximately 30 minutes and gives you breathtaking views of Kingston and beyond. Of course, you wouldn’t be flying over Kingston without seeing the stunning 13km of white sand coastline. But you’ll also get to observe other hotspots from above, like the renowned Edithvale wetlands, massive Braeside Park, sprawling green golf courses, hidden gem industrial precincts and more. This is your sign to bring a pair of binoculars along because you won’t want to miss any of it!
The best part is you don’t need any prior training! An expert instructor will be with you the whole time to make sure your very first flying lesson is an event to remember! Each lesson starts with a classroom briefing and an inspection of your training aircraft, giving you all the information you need to take to the skies.
Tristar Aviation was founded by local Kingston legends, Adrianne and Geoff Fleming. The couple first met at Moorabbin Airport and later decided to set up a flying school business to help others achieve their dream of becoming a pilot. Adrianne has been awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for her tireless services to Australian aviation.
