About Us

Operating out of Queenstown and Wanaka, we offer tourists a range of scenic flights in both fixed wing and helicopters, as well as high adventures in a student plane, or the most peaceful flight experience possible in a glider high above the mountains. We specialise in one-off charters, and delivery and pickup for trampers, and we also provide a provisioning service for fresh supplies during long excursions.

Finn McCool

Stunt pilot with the Red Arrows (UK airforce stunt team), has served in combat choppers in 3 recent wars, and fears nothing except small dogs and single women. Owns an Extra EA- 200 for the ultimate full stunt flight experience, and flies all our other fixed wing craft much more sedately when required. And, yes, that is his real name. He's Irish and he doesn't want to talk about it

Wendy "Dropper" Gilhallen

13 years commercial pilot in Africa, Russia and South America, during which she survived 3 crashes (none her own fault, she maintains). Owns a Cessna- 172Skyhawk P that is ideal for low level sight seeing, rides a Harley and is a ski instructor during the season

John "doc" Holiday

With over 10,000 hours piloting helicopters in the bush and mountains of the Southern Alps for deer recovery and mountain rescue operations, Doc is well qualified to land you and your friends in remote parts of the country that only he knows about. He’ll help you plot your route, drop extra provisions where you want them, and will pick you up when you’re done

Hans Gerhansen

Hans has flown almost everything there is to fly. He first took the controls of a small plane at 12 years old, and flew solo when he was 14. After a few years flying “anything, anywhere” he settled into a series of test pilot jobs, but left that because he prefers company when he’s in the air. Hans doesn’t actually own his own plane but you will find him in the pilots seat of any of our aircraft.
