Over the recent King’s Birthday Long Weekend, aspiring pilots and aviation enthusiasts joined us for our Try & Fly Weekend!

From June 8th – 10th we held our first ever Try and Fly Weekend at Camden Airport with 40 young people from across Greater Sydney taking part across the three days. Participants experienced the thrill of aviation enjoying the fantastic weather with a backdrop of stunning local scenery!

Watch below as a student pilot takes on the Blue Mountains TIF route with volunteer instructor Alex in VH-HUZ, our Cessna 152.

Events like these also don’t just come together overnight and would not be possible without the support of the volunteer staff and flying instructors. Special thanks also goes to the team at Sydney Flight Training, it was great to have VH-KKB on the fleet for the weekend, Sauer’s Bakehouse who supported our BBQ, as well as the countless individuals who donated their time and skills to make this Try & Fly Weekend a success!
