Allow 90 min for the whole experience.

  I'm a tall fat (profanity). How uncomfortable will I be?

    Looking at their portal >> Restrictions: Weight limit 130Kg per person. Does that ring any alarms?

  One of those scenic flights in Kununurra almost got me killed due to a landing gear malfunction. Personally will not attempt ever again…

    Most successful in terms of longevity and most produced aircraft in the world.
    Sounds dangerous.

    Of course it’s used, they can’t afford a new plane each flight.

    Assuming the plane in the photo is the same one used for the tour, it's actually the 172's larger cousin, a C206G: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_206
    6 seats instead of 4, and a much beefier engine. Very similar otherwise though. Not too sure what you're particularly worried about, being such a proven airframe. It'd be a fun flight, and this is an amazing price given how much these things cost to run!

  Do these planes really only cost $250 an hour to operate, including all wages and profits and stuff?

    Pretty sure it's more that. And I reckon fuel prices & number of passengers are a large factor determining the running cost.

      Ew, they pack you in there with strangers? I guess that's what it takes to get the price that low.

    Easily. At $110 they're not making any profit. Pilots are paid by the hour (and that's only when the engine is running) so they might be flying for free on this day just to log some time.

      Maybe it helps them earn a tiny bit instead of nothing at all, if the pilots have to be on standby anyway. Maybe their fuel reserves were getting old and they need to burn through it to replace it with fresh ones.

        Yep exactly, you've eluded to fixed costs which are the norm in aviation.
