At last Friday’s Social gathering we had a very special visit from Roy Kassulke. Roy, who now resides at Edgewater in Bli Bli was the very first pilot to land an aircraft on a muddy grass patch of what is now known as the Sunshine Coast Airport. Welcome, Aircraft Australia! As you may have read in an email sent out earlier this week, Aircraft Australia (a GA flight training school with bases in Redcliffe, Bundaberg, and Mackay) recently approached our Club to enquire if a briefing room and hangar space would be available at the Aero Club. The directors have worked with Aircraft Australia towards an agreement for such space. Such an agreement would be made to benefit the ongoing viability of the Club. This agreement would also provide access to a C172 for hire by Club members. We look forward to providing further details shortly. In the meantime please welcome to the club, Tom Kovacs, Nick Pratt, Mark Joseph, and Marcus Fox. SEA EAGLES MEETING TODAY!

The Bushland across from the Aeroclub is home to Coastal Taipans and Eastern Brown Snakes. Snakes are now on the move and a combination of 💩 and 🐍 in the aircraft is not ideal! Thank you! Winter has officially ended! ? Come and enjoy a Friday catch-up from 4.30 pm. Have a fantastic weekend. Teresa. |
