A surprise visit from AUGC member Simon Hackett on Saturday in his PC12 made it a day to remember. Not the usual kind of aircraft we see operating out of Stonefield! #SoaringSaturday

It was a hoot to fly the PC12 into my hone gliding field. A good time was had by all.

Congratulations to AUGC member Sam, who went solo last weekend. Great work! Now the real fun begins... 😀👍

Another happy customer! AUGC instructor Derek introduces first-timer Gary to the K-13 trainer. Gary’s grin was even bigger when he landed after his first #glider flight! #SoaringSaturday

Winter has definitely arrived at Stonefield! With 20kt winds and patches of rain there wan’t much soaring to be had; but the Janus was happy to fly in conditions too vigorous for our rag-and-tube gliders so training circuits were flown in between the rain patches. 👍🏻

Well done to 20 year old glider pilot Charlie Taylor (left) on qualifying to fly an Airbus with Qatar - a great career milestone! Gliding is a great way to start in flying - learn more at gliding.co.uk/juniorgliding Pilot Magazine Charlotte Vere Flyer

An utterly superb winter’s day for joint operations at Stonefield, with AUGC and BVGC members enjoying all the #soaring we could stand! What a beauty of a day! #SoaringSaturday

Last weekend was AUGC's annual flying camp at Wilpena Pound, in the Flinders ranges. Superb ridge #soaring was had by all. Here's a selection of pics from James Hobson. Check out the magnificence of the Wilpena Pound landscape when seen from a #glider!

This is fascinating: a short aerobatic demo of a #Fauvel tailless #glider. The commentary discusses some of its unusual flight characteristics. What an interesting aircraft! youtu.be/0doO-3KL2C4
