It's long overdue, but we're fixing it! Theory lessons at the LFS, we're starting off with a BAK course that will run in-house (no more awful Zoom sessions, we did out best, but they were very limited!) on Tuesday evenings 6-9pm and Sunday afternoons 3-6pm for 6 weeks at the airport.
We're rushing towards our premiere event of the year, our annual WINGS awards. This is where we celebrate the achievements of the pilots that choose to learn with us, that's you! We also have a number of prestigious and valuable scholarships that will be presented on the day, as well as some flying activities to enjoy. There's no charge to attend, it's our pleasure to have you along. Join the Yarra Valley Aviation team on Sunday 19th November for an afternoon of presentations, family friendly social gathering and flying. The afternoon begins at 1pm with presentations at 2pm.
