Coldstream to Wentworth October 2018

Coldstream to Wentworth October 2018 

By Len Borrow

Mike Welsh’s cousin Peter runs an asparagus farm 18 kilometres north of Wentworth Western NSW.

Mike suggested the idea to club members for a flyaway in the second week of July this year and quite a few members were interested in the trip and the accommodation, but because of bad weather the trip was cancelled and new arrangements were made to go away on the second weekend in October.

Wheelchair Pilots Day – Sunday 28 October 2018

On Sunday 28 October 2018, CFC will be hosting the first get together of Victoria’s Disabled Pilots Group.

We invite volunteers to take those participants without their own aircraft flying.

Some of the participants may have done the Wheelies with Wings course on the Foxbat and others are experienced flyers and owners.

The hope is that this will become a regular event.

If you have any questions about the event, please contact CFC member Rob Rickards

Throwback! – September 2016 Newsletter

COLDSTREAM FLYERS CLUB NEWSLETTER – SEPTEMBER 2016

 Late August delivered a new plane VH-DEY (Beechcraft Debonair) to the field for Scott and Leanne which arrived from Queensland and welcomed to its new home.  This means that VH-DWV Piper Archer PA 28 180 is for sale and looking for its next owner. The lovely sound that is unmistakably a Debonair will be a welcome addition to the field.
