Everyone is invited to come out to the Parkes Airport on the 12th-14th of April to enjoy this family friendly event.
The RAAus event planned for 12-14th April at Parkes Regional Airport will bring large numbers of aircraft and people to Parkes to enjoy and share their love of flying for fun, the event will give the people of the Central West the opportunity to experience the possibilities of affordable, low cost flying with manufacturers exhibiting their aircraft.
Recreational Aviation Australia is the governing body for ultralight aircraft in Australia and their aim is to promote affordable recreational aviation to a great number of Australians who wish to pursue their dream of owning and flying, and even building their own aircraft.
The occasion is the second “Fly’n for fun” fly in at Parkes Regional Airport where a large number of light aircraft are expected to attend, many will take the opportunity to camp under the wings of their aircraft, demonstrating the opportunity for low cost affordable flying trips away for families and groups.
Subject to weather there will be a fire pit and bar operated by Parkes Aero Club to ensure the event will maximise the camaraderie and enjoyment of the participants to enjoy a weekend with like minded people.
Some of the visitors will avail themselves of the many fine hotels and motels in Parkes and enjoy the country hospitality at pubs and restaurants throughout the town.
Aviation has always been a major part of life in Australia and costs and regulation of general aviation flying has put flying out of reach of many people and ultralight flying is an ideal way to get into the air.
Come out to the airport on Friday 12th to Sunday 14th and see how easy and enjoyable it is to get into recreational flying.
