✈️ Doncaster Squadron soared to new heights in October at our inaugural Gliding Weekend with Mount Beauty Gliding Club!
With the spectacular back-drop of Mount Beauty, Mount Bogong and Big Hill, we were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Over two intensive days, 12 of our Cadets experienced enriching classes, simulator lessons and two gliding lessons with expert instructors.
The Cadets did us proud - with great engagement and enthusiasm, delighted to be experiencing gliding in such a breathtaking location.
We even set a new height record with one winch launch!
Our most heartfelt thanks to the incredibly generous volunteer team at Mount Beauty Gliding Club for their welcome, encouragement and for sharing their insight so generously with the Cadets.
Huge thanks to our dedicated officer, Michelle, for organising such a fabulous event, and to our wonderful support team including Officers Lisa and Stephen, and Branch President, David.
And a special shout out to Peter Dean, who planned this weekend with Michelle for two years then was not well enough to enjoy it with us. Please get well - we’ll be back next year!
Australian Air League - Doncaster Squadron
is delighted to present inspiring opportunities for our Cadets.
Thanks to our Branch for helping us make this happen through many fundraising activities!
