FunFlight 2008

FunFlight is a non-for-profit organisation that creates possibilities for seriously ill children and their families to experience an unforgettable day of flying fun!

The inaugural FunFlight, in Melbourne in June 2007, was a huge success. 130 Kids and their families, in 43 aircraft, flew around Port Phillip Bay, and were entertained by the Peninsula Aero Club at Tyabb Airport, with a BBQ lunch, a display of World War II aeroplanes, parachutists and an aerobatics show by Australia's number one air-show performer, Pip Borman. The event was covered by both Channel 7 & 9, the Herald Sun and number of local newspapers.

The 2008 FunFlight, on 9 November, is going to be even bigger and better. While last year's FunFlight was confined to Melbourne, this year FunFlight, in close collaboration with both The Starlight Foundation and Canteen, will organise the event in Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin and Townsville, with the possibility of the event taking off to New Zealand and South Africa. We envision at least 350 aircraft around Australia taking sick kids and their families on the 'Ride of their Life'! ...read more
