[20 Aug 2017] WINGS AND WHEELS - South Grafton 20 August 2017 (South Grafton, NSW)

[kgwilson]

Grafton Aero Club will host the 5th annual Wings and Wheels Open day on Sunday 20th of August 2017. As with previous events there will be a variety of clubs and individuals exhibiting their winged or wheeled pride and joy.

 

These range from Hot Rods, Classic, vintage, sports, touring and race cars, plus go-karts, motorcycles, model aircraft, etc. Food and Drinks are available on site including morning tea in the clubhouse and BBQ Hot ham rolls, sausage sandwiches & burgers, icecreams cold drinks etc.

 

South Grafton Aerodrome is now privately operated by South Grafton Aerodrome Aircraft Hangar Owners Inc and this is the first full year of our operation. The grass is now regularly mown and the runway has recently been resealed and widened, perimeter fencing upgraded and drainage improved. The areodrome has never looked better. Landing Fees are waived for the event.

 

Last year we had over 40 aircraft fly in to add to the local aircraft on display. Again we will have warbird adventure flights available as well as aeroplane joy flights. Also this year we may see some Seaplanes after a visit from a dozen or so Amphibians from Australian Seaplane Pilots Association last Christmas.

 

The event is as always free for exhibitors and the public. There will be a gold coin donation with the charity this year being the Oncology Ward at Grafton Base Hospital. For more details see graftonaeroclub.com/wings-and-wheels
