AVIATION PROMOTION DAY FOR THE WHITSUNDAYS

Have you ever had a hankering to learn to fly, join the RAAF or fly an airliner?
Following the success of last year’s Aviation Promotion Day, the Whitsunday Aero Club Inc (WAC Inc) is planning another information day for locals to learn about flying training requirements and opportunities, to be held on Sunday, 27 October 2024 from 9am at the Whitsunday Aero Club’s clubhouse, Lascelles Avenue, Whitsunday Coast (Proserpine) Airport (look for the building with the green roof).
With interest shown at last year’s promotion day, Mackay-based Wrighton Aviation established a satellite flying school, based in the Whitsundays, using the facilities of the WAC Inc clubhouse, with several Whitsundays-based students enrolled.
A representative from Wrighton Aviation will be attending this year’s promotion day to ascertain if there is further interest in learning to fly amongst Whitsunday locals. If this is you, please come along!
During the day, instructor Nick Wright will be available to conduct Trial Introductory Flights, which allow those interested, the opportunity to fly the aircraft with the instructor. Contact Nick on 0459 588 810 to book a flight.  A sausage sizzle will be available between 11.00 am and 1.00pm.
The Aeroclub’s Annual General Meeting will follow at 1.30 pm. All members are invited to attend the sausage sizzle and the meeting.
