True Blue Skies is the brain child of Mick Keough, an Australian now living in the USA. During many “hanger flights,” Mick was continually asked, “When are we going to fly in Australia?” The more times he was asked, the more he thought about it, and the better it sounded. So, the research began! Could we actually set up the “Adventure of a lifetime” for pilots wanting to fly in Australia? After months of exhausting inquiries, and many sleepless nights on the phone to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, in Australia, “Yes!” was the answer and True Blue Skies was born.
Our US based office in Cumming, Georgia, handles all the front end customer enquiries, legal documentation (for Certificate of Validation), marketing, tour bookings and customer care. In other words, we do all the work.
Our group in Australia gets to have all the fun! They also work very hard to make sure everything about your tour is perfect. Located at Brisbane’s Archerfield, our Australian office takes care of you from the moment you arrive in Brisbane: picking you up from the airport, transferring you to the CASA field office (were you pick up your Certificate of Validation), making you comfortable in your motel after your long flight over the pond and suggesting great things to do while in the city. Our CFI’s will take you on your check rides and make sure you are ready to embark. Besides all that, they coordinate every aspect of your tour and make sure the aircraft fleet you will be flying is in top condition.
During the research & development phase of True Blue Skies, and while searching for suitable aircraft, it became apparent that there was a huge void in the Australian market. There was a need for aircraft and a reliable method to find them. With access to the largest general aviation market in the world, True Blue Skies located all our own aircraft and we want to do the same for you. True Blue Skies’ aircraft locator division’s sole function is to help you find your dream plane no matter where you are on the planet and get it delivered to you!

The entire staffs of True Blue Skies, both US and AUS, are waiting to take you on the ultimate flying adventure. So you can say to your mates, “I flew Down Under as Pilot in Command.” Come on and join us! The plane leaves when you get here!
