Latest News: 

Happy new year to everyone. Our new years party went well with a dozen people turning up. We spent most of the night watching a lightning show in the heat. We eventually had a light shower of rain but we had to wait until the next night for some cool air.

You will notice that the Flight Information section to the left has some new links. Thanks to Peter Johnson we now have Local Weather, Local Forecast and Bairnsdale radar. The Local Forecast can be used to check the weather before booking; it has a lot more detail for forecast winds on it. The Local Weather tells you what we are having now, how hot, wind etc. Peter has also updated the newsletter section.

Summer is almost upon us and the days are getting longer. I have already started some lessons at 7.30 but I am thinking that as the days get warmer and the air bumpy, that lessons and for that matter private hire, could start as early as 6.00am.

I will start at 6.00am as soon as people book that time. On forecast hot/windy days I would like to start early and finish at lunch time to get the best weather. This also means that those of you who start work at 8 or 9 could get in some flying before work, when the weather is at its best. During daylight saving, late afternoon flying would be possible till 8pm or later. Once again bookings would be essential.
