Tamworth Aero Club - FlyingAgain!
After an absence of some years, the Aero Club is reintroducing flying. The club is seeking expressions of interest from anyone interested in learning to fly. Recreational flying is open to all; young or old, fit or not so, it is the most accessible way to realize that dream of learning to fly.
Aerobatic Display and Open Day
From 12.00 on September 25th the club will be holding an open day to give all those interested a chance to gain more information and register their interest. The highlight will be an aerobatic display by RAAF Squadron Leader Tony Blair, currently the NSW Advanced Aerobatic Champion. Tony has over 1000 hrs clocked up in F111’s and will be flying his Rebel 300. This thrilling display will commence at about 1.45 p.m.
The club already has people from far away as Sydney indicating interest in getting their wings here.
President Eric Munro said it was very satisfying that flying was returning to the club. “The club has a rich aviation heritage. We owe it to those aviators who started the club to support the love of flying. One of the foundation members of the current club (opened in 1957) flew the Lancaster bomber ‘G for George’ over Berlin in W W 2. Those blokes were amazing pilots. Their photos are on the walls here. I’d like to think they’ll be smiling on 25th. I know we will be.”
