Information about who we are and what we do.

The Manning River Aero Club was formed in 1960, having transferred its training base from the Old Bar Airstrip to the then new Taree Airport. Initially, training was conducted in the DH-82 Tiger Moth before the advent of the Cessna 150.

Training with us entitles you to become a member - you become a part owner of the Aero Club. Membership entitles you to use the Clubhouse facilities, participate in social activities, working bees, flying safaris, entry into our regular flying competitions, and last but by no means least, subsidised flying rates. Once you have gained your licence, our fleet of aeroplanes are available for you to hire for both local flying, and for trips away.

We are a member of the Royal Federation of Aero Clubs of Australia, which has a code of reciprocal rights with a network of Aero Clubs that extends throughout Australia. You may also have the opportunity to represent the Club or your Country at Light Aircraft Championships which are organised by the Federation.

The Aero Club is run by a Board of Directors, who are volunteers, and are elected at each Annual General Meeting. As a member, you will be eligible to stand for election if you wish. The Aero Club is a non-profit making organisation, which means that any surplus funds are re-invested in the Club, its facilities and aeroplanes, ensuring that they are the best available.

We believe that being a member and learning to fly at an Aero Club gives you both real and intangible benefits private flying schools are unable to offer.
