Today I came across an interesting article in the WA Today newspaper that really got me excited (excuse the pun). A company in Western Australia is offering those wanting to part with $650 the chance to join the mile high club in a custom Piper Seneca aircraft. Classy.

The company website reads:

“Membership in this elite and exclusive club has always been difficult to obtain. Only those couples who were bold enough to carry on their initiation in the backseats of an under booked airline flight or wealthy enough to own their own aircraft were usually able to join.”

But now the elusive Mile High Club is within reach of everyone who has the cash to make the dream a reality. I guess the Mile High Club is no longer the dominion of exhibitionist 20-somethings on a sparsely filled REX Saab on it’s way to Lismore. I think it sounds lovely. Now I can “join the club in romantic comfort, style and discretion” – though, if you check out the pic from the news article it certainly looks like the epitome of style…

…and judging by the beautiful faux leopard fleece duvet, the Palazzo Versace has nothing on this love nest.

Maybe i’m being harsh but I feel that the operator may attract a more distinguished demographic if it had actually put some effort into the interior design and furnishings. It currently looks like the back seat of a 16-year olds panel van, which I am sure with get your lady (or man) friend twitchy with all sorts of sexual desire. Or not.

Mind you the WA is cluttered with cash rich miners who have little to spend their hard earned cash on so this does have it’s appeal. The operator has certainly caught on to a niche and it’s popularity is evident in the 300+ mile high ‘packages’ sold to date. Top marks for ingenuity.

The website goes on to say:

“ A bottle of quality champagne and delicious chocolates are included for the flight as well as a Mile High Club Certificate and commemorative pin. “

My oh my… a commemorative pin! I shall wear that commemorative pin to the church pot luck and wear it with pride! How wonderful. I’m sure the 75-year old woman that is referenced in the news article has all three pinned proudly upon her bossom.

But now I must leave you for I have a booking to make. All this talk of sex in the sky is rather exciting!
