200 Ultralight Aircraft Flying In To Parkes This Weekend

Fly’n For Fun is an biennial recreational aviation fly-in event hosted by RAAus at Parkes Airport, NSW. The Recreational Avi­ation Australia (RAaus) members are flying their aircraft to Parkes for a true celebra­tion of all forms of recreational aviation. The aircraft will fly in on Friday 27 March and fly out on Sunday 29 March with the main day being Saturday 28 March.

The weekend will follow an advised schedule, with Friday and Sunday focused on pilot arrivals and departures, allowing for smooth airspace coordination and relaxed travel.
