Alice Springs Gliding Club
Alice Springs Gliding Club held their annual intensive training course. This year was a little different as it was held earlier and thanks to extended availability 4 courses were held.
Course 1 was held from 5 - 9 May with Ian Downes and David McIlroy providing the instruction. Ben Pridmore did a stellar job of providing winching services, with over 20 launches on some days. The course was attended by Nikita Ashley, Margot Webster for abinitio training, Graden Dare and Grant Anderson for instructor training. A great time was had by all. Anyone interested in future courses should contact the club.

Gliding Training School AAFC
Squadron 305 and 328 held a Pilot Experience weekend in Juna, and what a weekend it was.
For heaps of cadets, this was their first time around gliders, and their first chance to get in the air. They got stuck into everything from ground handling to helping out on the airfield, and picked it all up super quickly. Seeing the excitement after those first flights never gets old. Massive thanks to the staff and crews who kept things running smoothly, and to the cadets for giving it their all.
