25.01.2022 One of our club members Will Ostrick has put together a VLOG of a recent flight he did to Wave Rock in KXW. Enjoy.

25.01.2022 Thank you to our club Treasurer Ian Scott, who washed and polished KXW today down at the wash bay. One of the club members taxied it there and back and Ian spent the afternoon making KXW all shiny again. Great work Ian. CYQ gets the love tomorrow. (Remember if you take the aircraft to the wash bay, its best to give Ground a call to let them know)

25.01.2022 Another great fly in at Lynton Station, Port Gregory organised by the Mid West Aero club. 12 aircraft this year. Great company, great food and a great fire. Well done to Greg and Jenny. KXW performed flawlessly as always. Remember check the calendar, there are plenty of fly ins over the next couple of months. Aircraft bookings are becoming tight on weekends so plan ahead. https://farmstaycampingaustralia.com.au//lynton-station-n/
