Our activities span from local meet-ups at airfields like Krugersdorp and Orient to participating in renowned events such as the Silver Queen Air Rally at Swartkop. We also cherish our visits to unique locations like Sandstone Estates, home to a remarkable collection of steam trains and heritage items.
While we don’t hold regular meetings, our informal structure encourages members to initiate their own gatherings, be it a breakfast fly-in, a braai at a local airfield, or attending airshows together. This flexibility allows us to keep the spirit of vintage aviation alive in a way that suits our diverse membership.
