16.01.2022 ‘Punching out the Pig’ by Barry Spicer On April 28, 1977, Capt. William Baker (USAF Exchange Officer) and FLTLT David Clarkson were carrying out a training exe...rcise in F-111C, A8-136 of 6 SQN RAAF, when their aircraft suffered a severe internal explosion leading to a complete loss of control. They ejected safely, suffering minor injuries as a result of the crew module ground impact forces. The aircraft crashed approximately 22kms north of Armidale, NSW. See more

15.01.2022 Here’s an example of a great circle for our cadets studying navigation - Qantas are actually flying the shortest distance back to Australia

14.01.2022 We couldn’t be much prouder of our Squadron at the moment, after their incredible efforts over this weekend! With a predominantly new Squadron (first time at Gr...oup Review), we managed to walk away with our heads held high after claiming 16 trophies!!! Everyone participated with such graciousness and enthusiasm, and having every member (Cadets and Officers) participate in every sports event today contributed to a clean sweep of sports trophies!! WELL DONE GOLD COAST!!! See more

14.01.2022 Congratulations Adam!

13.01.2022 We have some excellent news to share that Marc Shaw from Sutherland Shire Squadron passed his Recreational Pilots License flight test last Saturday 14th Novembe...r. One a perfect weather day after having to be delayed due to conditions on previous weekends he took to they sky and finished the last and most important part of his Recreational Pilots License course. Marc apart from flying with us also assists with the running of the Air Activities Centre on weekends. He volunteers his time to help support the instructors and operations so we can provide better service to all of our students. Congratulations Marc!!!

13.01.2022 Corporal Benedict Evans is one of our student pilots and he spends his weekends down at The Australian Air League Air Activities Centre Camden. Benedict is curr...ently training for his RPL (Recreational Pilot Licence) and flew another solo flight last weekend in VH-UNL.

11.01.2022 INTRODUCING 2021 QLD CADET OF THE YEAR AND QLD JUNIOR CADET OF THE YEAR!!! The most prestigious recognition for our Cadets in the Queensland Group is the Cadet ...of the Year competition. Over the weekend, 2021 title holders were announced, and Gold Coast Squadron is the proud home of both Cadet of the Year, Sergeant Napier, and Junior Cadet of the Year, Cadet Hesketh. Both of these cadets put in a massive amount of effort throughout the year, and are well deserving of their titles. We can’t wait to see what you achieve next! WELL DONE TO BOTH OF YOU! See more

11.01.2022 For those Cadets that were unable to attend the Remembrance Day Commemoration at Forest Lake in the morning of November 11th, the squadron held a commemoration ...during the parade that evening. We were fortunate to have a number of special guests join us to share what Remembrance Day means to them. Mr. Doug Haarhoff talked with the cadets about his parents and what they did during the war. He talked with the cadets about the Battle of Britain and how his mother worked in the De Havilland aircraft factory and how the work she did contributed to the war effort. Most importantly he reminded us that we all remember people differently but that is import to remember them. We were also joined by Mr. Dan Baldwin from the RSL Forest Lake & District Sub Branch who thanked the Cadets that formed the Catafalque party for the Commemoration earlier in the day. He also talked about his experiences a Squadron Leader in Logistics and the strong and lasting friendships that he formed with the people he served with. Mr. Greg Amey who is also part of the RSL Forest Lake & District Sub Branch and a Military Re-enactor joined the squadron wearing a WWI army uniform. He brought with him military memorabilia and talked with the cadets about how the soldiers would have used the equipment. The cadets also had the opportunity to engage with a display of military uniforms, memorabilia and books brought in by one of our Officers, Mr. Berrett. Thank you to all of our visitors for coming along on Wednesday night and sharing your experiences and stories and allowing the cadets the opportunity to immerse themselves in what it would have been like for our service people. It is through these types of experiences and the sharing of stories that we will remember those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
