One Six Right: The Romance of Flying is about the general aviation industry as seen through a local airport. Within a short period of time, it has achieved a passionate following and presence among pilots and aviation enthusiasts worldwide who see the film as being able to communicate their passion for aviation. Concurrently, the film has garnered both local and national political attention in the United States as an accurate depiction of general aviation and its important contributions to all aviation industries worldwide.

Preparation Working Bee - Airshow

Cancelled until further notice

On Saturday 17th September members for local scout troops will be visiting the Kyneton Aero Club to learn about the activities of the club, airfield, technology and aircraft that reside at Kyneton.

General Committee Meeting

Its clearly going to take an "army" of members and volunteers to assist us in cleaning up and preparing the air field for the up coming "Kyneton Airshow". The return of the spring rains has seen both the grass bouncing out of the ground and has also prevented us from carrying out any routine maintenance.

"And that's why we need you"!
