Adventure Flight Co

Adventure Flight Co is a small aviation business based at Barwon Heads Airport on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula, at the eastern start of the Great Ocean Road. Its website states that it was founded in 2009 by Anatole Mills under the name Warbird Air Adventures, and it also flies from Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne.

Most of its work is experience flying: aerobatic and mock air combat flights in ex-military CJ-6 trainers, open-cockpit biplane flights past the Twelve Apostles, and scenic flights along the Great Ocean Road. Alongside these, it offers private charter flights for small groups.

The aircraft named on its website are two CJ-6 warbirds, a Grumman open-cockpit biplane, a Cessna 185 used for scenic trips and small King Island groups, and a twin-engine Piper Chieftain used for longer charters.

Charter destinations listed by the company include King Island across Bass Strait, Lord Howe Island, Mount Hotham and outback locations such as Birdsville, Innamincka and Lake Eyre. The local tourism board, Visit Geelong Bellarine, also lists the business.

This is a piston-aircraft operator suited to short regional and adventure trips rather than jet travel. Flyers planning a charter should ask about the operating certificate held for passenger charter work, as this was not stated on the pages reviewed.
