What is this flying club about?
✶ Trevor Kee
The Isis Flying Club essentially manages and maintains the Childers Aerodrome on behalf of the Bundaberg Regional Council. The club services the recreational aviation community of the Isis District in Queensland, including Childers and its surrounding areas.
➸
It is a magnificent 1000m all weather (east/west) grass runway with well set up club rooms. There are currently 14 owner/occupier hangars onsite, with future development sites available. Members can lease the land for their own hangar from the club at $200 per annum (so that’s less than $4 per week)!
What kind of activities are conducted at the club? The Childers Aerodrome is an Ultralight flying community. However, we do not discriminate against general aviation. There are many active recreational aviators and clubs in South East Queensland nearby as well. There is a very special activity that takes place at this club. “Old Farts Day” is what Childers is famous for. Every Wednesday morning, up to 30 pilots from all around converge on our airfield to chew the fat and catch up together.
