I had a booking for the aerobatics flight. My pilot was Broxon Brookfield. I just wanted to say what an awesome experience I had. Thank you, Broxon. Will definitely do this again.

I celebrated my 90th birthday in October 2019 enjoying a flight in a vintage Tiger Moth — 70 years AFTER my first solo flight prior to transferring to observer training in the Navy’s Fleet Air Arm. My pilot, Tim Berryman, strapped me in prior to take-off. We climbed to 1200 feet and flew over the Swan River, checking the Yacht Clubs prior to a scenic flight along Adelaide Terrace, then to Swanbourne down the coast to Woodman Point, climbed to 5000 ft prior to an aerobatics loop, roll and stall. Bought back fond memories. Then back to Jandakot where my family were waiting to take me to a celebration lunch. A most enjoyable experience. Thanks, Tim and RACWA.

Last weekend the Royal Aero Club of Western Australia celebrated its 90 Year Anniversary with a Formation Over the Aero Club at Jandakot Airport in the numbers “90”. A total of 16 aircraft participated in the flight, which was amazing to see. I didn’t even realise that this was happening until I saw 16 aircraft all powering down Runway 06L. The aircraft are listed below (VH-) -RWY -IBP -BFV -BFT -UWC -JBX -RWF -TNO -ZDR -DOG -BOF -EWC -EEP -TQO -PJS -VPK.

Thanks so much to everyone at Royal Aero Club of WA. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and glad to be part of the club’s history. It was a well-presented and well-organised day of fun and enjoyment. Even had a go around to add a bit more flying time to an already great flight down the coast.

I had a trial flight today at 11am with Jet Slater. I just wanted to take the time out to formally thank Jet for a truly wonderful experience. He was a great instructor and made my 50th birthday very memorable. Please pass on my thanks and this message to Jet.

I had been a member of the Royal Aero Club since 2015 when I did my RPL training. Nowadays I fly the Club’s Sling light sport aircraft on a regular basis, taking friends and family on joy flights. From my RPL training, to doing recreational flying, I have always found the staff of the Royal Aero Club to be very professional, friendly and accommodating. Even on very short notice they would bend over backwards to make an aircraft available for a flight. If you are dreaming of becoming a pilot or looking for an aero club to join, I can strongly recommend the Royal Aero Club. They helped me make my dream come true, and with their huge fleet and affordable hire rates, I can keep living that dream! Some of my happiest experiences in life have been in aircraft of the Royal Aero Club.

I was very happy with the instructions provided to me during my Trial Flight. They were simple and easy to follow. The aircraft was amazing. It was VH-RWQ, very tiny but comfortable. It was the best 30 minutes of my life so far (best 30 minutes of 17 years). THE best experience that one could ever have. It gives you a vision of what flying in a real world (as a job) would be like.

The information in the seminar was provided in an easy-to-understand manner, and I can’t wait to start lessons!

I didn’t realise how easy it was to fly a light aircraft (Cessna 152)! It’s simple to learn and control an airplane, great for newbies to the aviation world. Just wanted to say thank you, as it was my first time in a legit flight, as I am always using simulations so this will be a never forgotten experience. Plus, the flight instructor, Carlos, was friendly and really nice.
Sebastian Saunders
The Young Eagles experience was just incredible. All the opportunities like the 737 and the ATC. Just great. My most favourite parts of the programme were the Scenic Flight and sitting in the cockpit of a 737. Priceless.

I found the Flight Review Seminar, conducted free to Club members, was very useful and informative, with the instructor being polite, positive and very effective with insightful delivery. It was a valuable session which demonstrated Club values and fellowship. Well done – Keep this type of activity going!
