Join us at Avalon Airshow 2023!
The Australian Air League will be exhibiting at Avalon Airshow 2023, come and visit us at Stand GAS.20 from the 3-5th March.
Find out all that the Australian Air League has to offer young girls and boys ages 8 and older with a passion for aviation!
On the weekend of the 11th and 12th of February, the NSW Air Activities Centre flew out to the Riverina to support Leeton-Narrandera Squadron.
Their visit coincided with a Squadron open day which Squadron OC Robert Manning described as “Exceeding all expectations”!
The Squadron there is set to soar to new heights with over 20 young people dropping in to learn more about the Air League and while this happening they were busy running scenic joy flights for all in attendance taking in the sights of the Murrumbidgee River and surrounding districts.
All Squadrons in NSW are reminded to get in touch with us (airactivities.nsw@airleague.com.au) to book a flying day either at Camden Airport or for those located further afield at an airport near you!
Since 2008 FunFlight has been taking children touched by adversity for the Flight of their Life.
On Saturday 11th February they celebrated 15 years and their 15,000th flight!
For the last 10 years, the Victoria Group of the Australian Air League has been involved, with cadets providing assistance escorting families to their flights and helping the kids board.
To celebrate the milestone, aviation YouTuber and pilot Stefan Drury made a great little video of the day – and great to see the cadets helping on the day featured so prominently!
The Australian Air League notes the advice that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has died, peacefully, at the age of 96. The Queen had reigned since 1952 and her eldest son, Charles, is now the King.
The Air League mourns the passing of Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.
As a mark of mourning and respect and in accordance with protocol, the Australian National Flag should be flown at half-mast immediately and until further notice.
Full information for Squadrons can be found in the attached Federal Routine Order.
