Flying a whale shark filming expedition
A marine conservation project needed our help with a wildlife expedition in Queensland, Australia. Two experts were flying from Cairns to Lockhart River for five nights, with daily flights over the Coral Sea to spot whale sharks and film them in their natural habitat. We set about sourcing a suitable aircraft for this complex request.
