Australian Flying - July 2018

(^16) News
AirVenture Australia
announced last month
that their annual general
aviation f ly-in will relocate
to Cessnock Airport
in the Hunter Valley
Region of NSW on 20-
September this year.
Since its inception as
Ausf ly in 2012, the national
f ly-in has been held at
Narromine near Dubbo.
The move to Cessnock
is believed to solve issues
of accommodation and
activities for non-flying
partners that existed at
Narromine.
AirVenture Australia
organiser David Young
said: “The team is very
much excited about this
year’s event. We have a
new venue and new look
event that is designed to
please everyone, from the
keen aviator to the person
in the street.
"We are ecstatic that
Cessnock City Council
and the local community
have got behind this
year’s event. It’s onward
and upward from here
as we grow AirVenture
Australia with the
beautiful Hunter Valley
as our backdrop.”
Supported by
Recreational Aviation
Australia (RAAus) and
the Australian Parachute
Federation (APF), the
national f ly-in hopes to
attract "war birds, sports
and amateur built aircraft."
Over 50 seminars are
planned on the Thursday
and Friday covering
building, maintaining,
f lying and teaching.
An air show is planned
for the Saturday.
RAAus CEO Michael
Linke said the new-look
AirVenture Australia would
be attractive to its members.
“RAAus is absolutely
committed to AirVenture
Australia," he said. "This
event is exactly what our
members are after. Two
great days where they can
catch up with each other,
look at planes, attend some
seminars and build on
their knowledge. Then on
the Saturday we can all sit
back and enjoy some great
aerial displays.
"AirVenture is the best
of both worlds. It’s an event
for aviators by aviators.”
Cessnock is located in
the Hunter Valley 52 km
west of Newcastle. The city
has approximately 22,
people and is situated in the
heart of one of Australia's
most prolific wine-
producing areas.
Cessnock City Council
has indicated total support
for the event.
