✈️ What does flying for fun look like to you?

Is it a leisurely flight in the Savage Cub, a bush outing in the Murphy Rebel or open-cockpit aerobatics in the Steen Skybolt?

Choosing an aircraft starts with figuring out what flying you actually enjoy. These three offer very different ways to spend a free weekend.

Explore the full specs and asking prices via the link in our bio, or get in touch to chat about which could suit you.

🌿 Bush Aircraft
Choosing the right aircraft starts with where you want to go.
Larger tyres can help on rougher ground, while short take-off and landing capability opens up options for suitable shorter strips. Baggage space and fuel consumption matter too, especially when you’re packing for a weekend away.
Swipe through these five, then explore the full listings via the link in our bio.

📍 Where would you take your next bush aircraft?

This is what it’s all about! 🙌🛩️

Meet Phil and his KFA Explorer!

Phil had a dream of owning his own bush plane, flying from his property and having the freedom to head off on an adventure whenever he liked.

We recently helped Phil find his KFA Explorer, and it’s pretty rewarding seeing that dream become a reality!

For us, aviation is about so much more than just flying aeroplanes. It’s about the places you can go, the people you meet and the adventures along the way.

Congratulations, Phil! We can’t wait to see where your new toy takes you! 👏

Is the Cessna 180 the ultimate four-seat bush plane? 🤔🛩️

We recently collected this beautiful Cessna 180 for its owner and have been giving it a little TLC ahead of bringing it to market.

With plenty of power, a useful load and the ability to get into some pretty interesting places, it’s not hard to see why these aircraft have such a loyal following.

But is there a better four-seat taildragger out there?

Keen to hear your thoughts! 👇
