Calling all wingmen and women — the Annual Fun Fly event is fast approaching, with dates locked in on April 15 and 16 for an incredible weekend in the sky.
The VMAA Flying Field — on Watson Rd, Kanyapella — is once again hosting the runway for the model planes.
Echuca Moama Model Aero Club secretary and treasurer Fred West said pilots from across Victoria could look forward to a jam-packed weekend of aircraft, camping and community.
“Pilots and spectators can see us fly many different types of model aeroplanes — aerobatic, jets and helicopters,” Fred said.
“All kinds of model aircraft are welcome.”
Pilots can make use of the camping facilities onsite so they don’t miss a minute of the action.
There’ll also be refreshments available, with a canteen, coffee and tea onsite.
Fred said the event wasn’t exclusively for owners of aircraft — it could be enjoyed by families of the pilots, as well as other spectators.
“It’s good to see people like me enjoy the sport and the camaraderie.”
Pilot entry fee is $10 and free entry for spectators.
