We want your suggestions for the Wings Dinner being held on Saturday 13th October!

We have some magical entertainment organised, but we need your help selecting an informative, interesting and entertaining guest speaker that will appeal not only to aviators, but also their guests.

This significant event acknowledges students achievements in aviation and enables them to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments. We are proud to recognise and award student achievements by presenting them with certificates, and their ‘wings’ at the Dinner.

For newer students and members, the Wings Dinner is an ideal opportunity to meet and socialise with members from Bunbury and other aero clubs. Have fun with the table quiz – It’s a good chance to meet and interact with the guests on your table and win prizes such as wine and movie tickets.

We’re hoping you will join us for an evening of celebrations and socialising with other Bunbury Aero Club members.

Further details on the event will be forwarded to members closer to the date.

Please forward your suggestions to Jasmin on 9725 4377 or email.

What is the Outback Air Race?

The Outback Air Race is a GPS-based navigation time trial throughout the remote Australian outback. With as many as 60 competitors in 25 aircraft, pilots nominate an elapsed time between two waypoints, receiving points for both time and location accuracy.

With the aim to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, competitors and spectators have raised over $1.2 million since its inception in 1996. All funds from each race go towards outfitting RFDS aircraft with essential medical equipment, vital for treating sick and injured patients and saving lives of those who become critically ill and require urgent medical assistance.

When is the next outback air race?

The next air race will be held from 27th August 2012 to 8th September 2012. The race committee is already actively planning the event. Stay up-to-date with race information by joining the webpage RSS feed or mailing list (see the contacts page on our website).

All information regarding this fantastic event, which is held for a worthy cause, can be found here: http://www.outbackairrace.com.au/.
