Peninsula Aero Club

A number of initiatives have come to pass during the last couple of months.  The first was the finalisation of our Air Show.  With all associated costs paid, our last duty has been to present the donations to the Club's beneficiaries.  Due to the Show's success, the Club gave generously to the Tyabb C.F.A., the Western Port Men's Shed in Hastings, the Somerville Men's Shed, the Tyabb Cricket & Football Club and the Lions Club.  It was a wonderful result.

The mini FunFlight proved a sensational way for members to again demonstrate care and fellowship by hosting families and their sick children to a day of games, lunch and a scenic flight.  The fact that Channel 7 featured the FunFlight day on their 'A Way to a Good Life' Show can only enhance the social standing of PAC in our community.  Truly a fantastic result.

An issue which has been of concern has been the desire by our CFI, Sandy Robinson, to reduce his workload.  Sandy has been at the helm for ten years and had indicated he needed to slow down.....................What to do.

Re-enter Peter Phillips as our new Assistant CFI.  Peter is no stranger to PAC, having worked at the Club seven years ago.  Peter and the rest of the ops staff will assist Sandy in the day to day affairs of maintaining records and conducting training, ensuring that Sandy will have the extra time and so avoid, for the time being, the hard decision of setting a retirement date.  We wish Peter every success in his new role.
