The Flying School encourages, and is itself heavily involved in, a wide range of aviation oriented extra curricular activities. These range in scope from a regular fortnightly Dawn Patrol, to serious overseas trips. Following are just some of the activities you can take part in.
 

	Dawn Patrols are early morning short distance flights involving a  group of around 4 to 6 aircraft flying  together and lasting approximately  3 hours. The group will visit places  of interest e.g. Fraser Island, and  land on several bush strips. Students  & Pilots can hire one of our aircraft  and split the costs. The group of  aircraft is led by an Instructor and  usually ends with a BBQ upon arrival.
	Fly-Ins  We regularly fly our aircraft to fly-ins  which are informal weekend  gatherings of Ultralight enthusiasts at  bush strips all over the country. They  provide great opportunities to view a  wide range of weird and wonderful types  of aircraft, as well as making new friends.
	Shows  Quite often we will promote  our Flying School at Airshows and  District shows around the local area.  Also as Australian agents for the New  Zealand manufactured BANTAM  Ultralight we display it at many of the  larger airshows. You can fly with us to  many of the shows.
	Long Distance Flights On occasions flights of quite epic  proportions are undertaken, as in these  two examples. The photo on the left  shows the SKYFOXES at 10,000' half  way across Bass Straight on a flight to  Tasmania. Whilst the photo below was  taken flying over the summit of Mount  Kosciusco.
	Friendly competitions Test your skills, or just enjoy yourself,  on some of our "fun days". Flour bombing,  balloon popping, aerial golf and spot  landings are just some of the fun  activities you can take part in.
	Help build aircraft A number of our pilots have built,  or are in the process of building, their  own ultralight aircraft and they are  usually only too pleased to have  another pair of hands to assist them.  The photo on the left is a PULSAR kit  aircraft under construction by one of our  graduated students. You could even build  your own kitplane.
	Overseas trips Every 2 years we make the pilgrimage to  the Wanaka Airshow in New Zealand and  take a group of up to 20 aviation buffs  and their spouses with us.This is a  fantastic experience as we usually go on  tour throughout NZ after the show.  Anyone interested in going should read  our Wanaka Airshow page.
