Local Events

In partnership with aero clubs from around the country, we organise joyflights and other aviation related activities. Every second Sunday in November is the National FunFlight Day. Last year, on 8 November 2009, over 1200 children and their families were given the 'Flight of their Life', from one of 15 airports around Australia. If you represent an aero club, and would like to organise a local FunFlight event, please contact us HERE

Passengers

The joy flight passengers come other charities; we have provided joy flights for members of organisations such as the Starlight Foundation, Canteen, Ronald McDonald House, HeartKids, Camp Quality, Uniting Care, Special Schools, etcetera. If you represent a charity and would like to participate in a FunFlight event, please contact us HERE.

Sponsors & Donations

FunFlight is able to do this work because many volunteers and sponsors offer their services, goods, time, money and aircraft. Flying is expensive, and for us to be able to keep on putting smiles on the faces of kids and families that so often have little to smile about, we require more sponsors and more donations. You can donate HERE, and contact us if you would like to discuss what difference your company's sponsorship would make to these kids.

     

 

Our family would like to send enormous thanks to everyone involved last Sunday in the Funflight activities at the Peninsula Aero Club. We had the most fantastic day and our Heartkid William had a huge smile on his face the whole day. As a large family with four sons we needed two planes. Our pilots Tom and Bruce were so lovely and the boys thought they were fantastic!! The food, activities and air show were all fantastic and the gentleman who brought icypoles over to the petting farm was a lifesaver in the hot weather!!! William has had two major heart operations and many other procedures for a complex heart condition he was born with. He will also have further open heart surgeries as he grows - which he is just starting to become aware of and although he does not want to go back into hospital, these days are a fantastic way for him to forget about it and just enjoy a great day out.

FUNFLIGHT NEWS
  • FunFlight in Singapore Michel Verheem, 3 May 10. FunFlight Australia has been approached by the Lions Club of Singapore, with the aim to investigate whether they can organise a FunFlight event this year. FunFlight has a relationship with Singapore through the Singapore Air Force, who has been involved in the Rockhampton event in the last couple of years. The feedback from the participating Air Force personel has been overwelming, and we are looking forward to working with the Singaporese to make the first international FunFlight come happen. If anyone has contacts within the aviation world in Singapore, please contact us.
