Fly In
Last Sunday the Southport Airport Social Club flew to Boonah for socialising, bbq and a flight in a glider.
A total of 11 glider flights were taken by them and a good number of flights in their power planes and helicopters were taken by our members.
A great social day for all, on a day when the weather was definitely most suited to power flying.
We have been invited to a return visit to their club sometime late March still to be confirmed.
Boonah at its best - 2 Jan 2012
Fantastic conditions on 2 January 2012 for Dylan Lampards first solo flight in the Libelle and Angela Garvey going solo!. Congratulations.
6knot thermals to 6,500 feet meant you could fly high and far in all directions. Lots of smiling faces at the end of the day!

97.3FM Flies At Boonah Gliding Club
Terry Hanson from 97.3FM flew with Boonah Gliding instructor Mike Ridge recently and put this clip together for his radio show. Nice work from John P for getting through the CHAOTIC check under pressure. Listen to the MP3 here https://sites.google.com/site/
As Terry says in the clip, Air Experience Flights can be easily booked through the website, then all you have to do is turn up on the day.
