Gisborne Aero Club Inc

Gisborne Aero Club Inc Welcome to the Gisborne Aero Club page, where you can keep up to date with club news and events.

First established in 1930, the Club is based at Gisborne Airport on the historic Darton Field, home of 30 Squadron and their Grumman Avengers during World War two. Whilst not owning any aircraft, a close relationship with Air Gisborne Ltd means that club members have access to a Grumman AA5 and Cessna 172 for training and private hire. Privately owned aircraft on the field include a 1940 DH82A Tig

er Moth operated by an enthusiastic syndicate. Club membership hovers around the 20 mark so local aviation organisations are encouraged to make use of the bar facilities to help make ends meet. In previous years club members have been active in Flying NZ competitions with success at regional and national level. The club has also hosted these events and has been a much anticipated stopover on the Round New Zealand Air Safaris. Visitors are always welcome and aviators are encouraged to contact the club should they be in the area.

Hi all,

The Aero Club is required to update and re-submit its constitution in order to continue operating. Part of this process involves club members voting on the new constitution before it is submitted. Alongside the next open bar, there will be a Special Meeting to allow members to cast a vote.
This will take place on March 1st, 4:30pm at the club room.

At least 25% of current financial members need to attend in order for this to be valid, so please consider coming out to support the club and enjoying a drink with old friends while you're there.

A copy of the new constitution can be viewed by emailing us: [email protected]

Thanks and see you all there,
GAC Committee
