Parkes Aero Club History: The Parkes Aero Club (PAC) was formed in 1948 shortly after the RAAF Station was decommissioned and is a not-for-profit community sporting organisation, operating out of the recently upgraded Parkes Regional Airport. The club represents one of the oldest continuously operated aero clubs in Australia, supporting primary and advanced recreational (AR) and general aviation (GA) training in the Central West of NSW.
Over the years, PAC Inc has organised and hosted numerous fly-ins, competitions and national events, such as the Australian Aerobatic Championships and major PAC airshows in ’85 & ’95 featuring the Air Force Roulettes. Come and see the Roulettes and several multi engine planes from HARS, such as the Caribou, Convair, DC3, Neptune and Catalina, as well as Paul Bennett’s aircraft performing their amazing routine, at the club’s 70th anniversary on
14th April.
