Thanks to all our members and their families who brought aircraft and drove to Corowa, NSW for our 2025 National Fly-In. We had fantastic weather and a brilliant four days on the airfield and in the Corowa township.
We had over 120 aircraft and over 200 people in attendance as we returned to Corowa for its great airfield, town, and community.
Arrival Day - Fly until sunset then lay out your picnic rug or camp chair for an outdoor cinema experience set amongst the finest collection of antique and classic aeroplanes.
A BBQ dinner and bar will be available for the evening while Maverick and the crew in Top Gun: Maverick demonstrate that antique aviation doesn't just mean aircraft! BYO camp chair or picnic rug. Last year was quite chilly, and the forecast is for cool nights again this year, so you may wish to rug up!
