July & August Newsletter

28/8/2019

After several months of unseasonal rain, the big wet has finally ended and normal operations have resumed at PMA. 

It's official!  It went up on YouTube..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDtP7MzPJcg  but during the airfield closures we had to endure, some members were already planning alternative uses for the airfield...

​Work on the spectator and entertainment shelter continued, despite the weather.  Here is Jim proudly announcing the relocation of the barbeques..

And just in time too; we had a busy couple of weeks at the back end of August hosting two significant events.

The first was hosting the Southern Cross Air Force (the War Birds) on Saturday  17 August.  It is always a pleasure to have these folks at the airfield and this year was no exception.  This link should give you a brief insight into how the day went... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcYKKWOi6E0

The second was a fun fly on 25 August to remember Roy Salmon who passed away in July.  Roy's family attended a morning tea, we had a fly past, took the time to recognise the tremendous contribution he made to the club and officially opened the new shade shelter in his name.

​Other than that, it was business as usual. Here is a glimpse at some of the action....

Several club members represented the MAAA at the Queensland Air Museum Open Cockpit Weekend - that was a hoot... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6qEA5laifs

There weren't as many maidens as expected, but this is one that went very well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGr6ncM4bh4  There is however a bit of general background "chatter" about a few imminent maidens.

With Spring almost here, it was good to see the Tuesday crew well and truly on task... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3bsTkUvYzw
​

And in early September we have our AGM to look forward to.
