Step back in time and experience the glorious 30’s with this cocktail party in the sky! This experience is based on a 2.5 hour time frame incorporating a beautiful 30 minute scenic flight around the Melbourne skyline in probably the most famous airliner of them all, ‘the DC-3’. This group event is perfect for social groups, or companies wishing to utilise this unique experience to get to know their clients or staff.

To begin your experience, you're welcomed to the Essendon Silver Clipper lounge, where your guests are transported to another place and time! The lucky 28 are served a variety of canapes and select wines whilst being briefed ceremoniously on the evolution of flight from the DC-3 era. This is the party aspect of the trip, 45 minutes of happy chatter and gourmet indulgence. Your guests will be treated to some superb hot and cold canapés whilst listening to their aircrew give an amusing and informative pre-flight briefing and in particular, the differences between a DC-3 and the modern airliners of the day.

The evening then takes the ultimate step up... on board the quintessential aircraft classic, the DC-3 jet. As your participants board it will be easy to see why this craft is the most renowned of all the jets that have come and gone since. As you ascend you'll see the fabulous Melbourne skyline, you'll cruise in awe for half an hour and remember the amazement felt with the first commercial flights.

After witnessing amazing views of Melbourne from Port Philip Bay, you're returned to earth for a session of coffee and port, whichever you prefer.
