Default Aircraft Shipping to Australia
Hi Guys,

I'm looking at buying a kit plane with the Fuse, Empennage and Wings already assembled.

I'm looking for a freight company in the US that can look after road transport from Omaha NE and shipping to Brisbane Australia.

I did know of a South African guy who specialised in Aircraft shipping out of California to Australia but sadly he passed away a couple of years ago.

Cheers,

You might try Neel Aviation, I see them advertising on barnstormers.com often. I know nothing about them other than they ship airplanes.

There is also Ship A Plane.

Cheers,
That would be Jeff Sharman. His wife Sheila Sharman has taken over the business. I had pleasant dealings with her in the sale of my C-152. Here is her contact info for another option to look into: Sheila Sharman ? sheila.sharman@gmail.com
Sorry but I do not have her TX.
