Gliding returns to Maryborough Qld

[FlyingVizsla]

I attended an information session in Maryborough Qld last week to get the good oil on progress with the Maryborough Gliding Club. They are a keen bunch hoping to get a hangar built at the airport to house the three gliders available to the Club. At present two of them are sharing digs with other aircraft at M'boro. The Fraser Coast Council has come on board with favourable terms regarding a lease to the Club for the hangar and they have a Gliding Instructor. There were about 20 people interested on the night.

 

 

 

The following is an extract from the newspaper article (which appears in a number of syndicated papers including the Fraser Coast Chronicle):-

 

"There is a glider suitable for training pilots based in Maryborough and will be available for hire to members once our operations start," Ms Neisler said. For more information, phone Janet Neisler on 4124 3089.

 

 

 

Janet soloed at Maryborough in a glider about 1974.

 

Good luck to them & I hope to have a dual one day soon.
