What is happening
Fly Aways
A number of fly aways are being planned for this year. The idea is to hold a regular Club outing on the first Saturday of each month [weather permitting]. Where the weather conditions are poor the event will be automatically moved on to the next weekend. Plan your flight to arrive around NOON, and some form of lunch will be arranged - depending upon location.
Make a note in your calendar NOW, and come along and enjoy an outing with your fellow aviators.
The latest details will be published on the GSA Facebook page, so you can log in before the event to check for any last minute changes. Also if you have a spare seat, or need a ride for one of the outings give a shout out on our FACEBOOK page.
>> Please note: there will be no BBQ lunch served at the Club rooms on days of the fly aways.
