Henry Ellis: Above & Beyond Tasmania

Sunday, May 30, 2021 • Duration 01:10:30

We're back! Welcome to the highly anticipated first episode of Season 2 of Up and Away, the Australian Aviation Podcast! This week I'm joined by Henry Ellis! Henry operates a seaplane company down at the waterfront in Hobart called Above & Beyond Tasmania, where he offers charters, joy flights, and day trips in his de Havilland Beaver. When Henry isn't flying the Beaver he is also a Boeing 737 pilot with Virgin Australia. I was lucky enough to go visit Henry in Hobart over Christmas and go for a fly with him, which happened to be my first ever trip in a seaplane. It was unreal! We then recorded this episode a few months ago, when I was back in Melbourne, but I'm glad I finally have the chance to share it all with you. Check out Above & Beyond Tasmania on their website: www.aboveandbeyond.flights.
