January has been an exciting month for Bunbury Flying School. We have had so many students and others taking advantage of the holiday season and the beautiful weather that we have had to bring in a spare instructor! Thanks Adam Price for all your valuable help and expertise. Our instructors make a great team and their patience and knowledge makes learning to fly a real pleasure.Scenic flights have also been very popular with holiday makers and Bunbury and its surrounds are beautiful from the air and well worth checking out. We have also had some interesting charters to conduct too, if you would like to go somewhere let us know, we can take you there. When was the last time you took the family to Rottnest Island, or to Albany for the day? Have you watched the dolphins play in the ocean, or seen the caves in the cliffs around Cape Naturaliste? This is fun, and affordable. Ask us about our Gift Vouchers too. We are open seven days a week and we will welcome your phone call or come in to see us. We will even feed you on the weekends!

2009 Christmas Party and "Wings" presentations.
On 18 December Bunbury Flying School put on a Christmas party for students, friends and their families. We had a turn up of between 70-80 people and it was a good night. We had a selection of roast meats that were cooked here, and a delicious variety of fresh salads, coleslaws and bread rolls to go with it, all presented buffet style. This was followed by Pam's famous Christmas pudding (highly recommended) with brandy custard. All this was liberally washed down with appropriate liquid beverages. There was no shortage of food, and everybody seemed to be having fun if the noise and laughter was anything to go by! Background music was provided by Peter Mulhern from Serpentine, thank you Peter.- 10 good reasons to fly in Bunbury!

November is over and we are just about to head into the Christmas season. The month brought some mixed weather. We had some rain, we had some sunshine, and had some wind and we had some more wind. In between we managed to get some flying done. Spare a thought for the poor old farmers trying to make hay.

On Sunday about 30 people attended the SAAA fly in at the Bunbury Flying School.
The weather was ordinary and only two to three aircraft were able to fly in.
Guest speakers included Mike Fletcher who spoke on the SAAAA, Ben Sharp who spoke
on RAAUS, Dave Bell who spoke on building the Savannah and Ed Smith who spoke on building
the Jabiru and the Storch. It was a very informative meeting and was designed to answer any
questions that people who are looking to build their first aircraft might have. There was
a free lunch provided thanks to the Flying School and afterwards people got to look around
the airport and socialize. Thanks to all those who took part.- Kambalda Flyaway

The new procedures will restrict the active movements in the circuit traffic to 6 aircraft per controller including departing and arriving traffic, resulting in a direct hit to the hip pocket of Jandakot users while they wait for ATC clearance.
