Alternate Raglan Flyin

Goodwin Airstrip - an alternative to the Raglan Airshow now that it has become a Bi-Annual Event
Now that the Raglan Flyin has become a Bi-Annual event, we seem to be left with a long weekend free ... or have we? Well, the Hervey Bay and Maryborough aero clubs are offering an alternative during the Raglan off years by combining to hold the "Goodwin Field Fly-In" over the long weekend, June 7, 8 & 9 2008.

 


It will be held at a private airstrip between Hervey Bay and Maryborough - Goodwin Field ( more details on the website ). Funds raised will go to the 2 aero clubs involved in organising the event, the Variety Club for kids and the Royal Flying Doctors Service.

Goodwin strip is within the Hervey Bay / Maryborough CTAF(R). All aircraft will have to be equiped with a working radio.

Please register on the website if you are coming along, we understand that weather may get in your way but we do need an idea of what numbers to expect. We would rather you register and not turn up than to turn up unexpected.
