Cobden Day Trip Report
We couldn’t have asked for a much better day! Planning a day-trip for the midst of Winter is always a gamble, but on 16 July, LFC did just that, and came up with a pearler of a day. Six aeroplanes departed Lilydale at around 10.30 in bright sunshine, with not even a hint of a […]

Porepunkah Post-mortem

First Nav Challenge for 2016
The first LFS/LFC nav challenge for 2016 is on Sunday 28 February. If you haven’t been on one of these before, it’s a little nav exercise around Victoria for all students/instructors and PPLs who want to explore some lesser-visited airports. There’s clues to solve, lunch to be had and a lot of laughs along the […]
Photo Shoot Day
LFC’s pilot photo shoot day went fantastically well yesterday. Eight pilots and aircraft formed-up on C172 ISD for the cameras and we got some pretty reasonable images that we weren’t going to get any other way. Heaps of thanks to formation pilots Jock Folan, Murray Gerraty, Dave Woodland, Bob Irvine and Craig Hammond. Without your […]
Porepunkah Fly-away 19-20 March 2016
