On Saturday Dave and Bella completed their back-to-back TOP GUN flights with us. The flights were Christmas presents purchased in December 2025. They took the controls and under the watchful eyes of their instructor they flew Rolls, Loops, Hammerhead Turns and much more! Judging by the 'ear to ear' smiles on their faces when they landed, they enjoyed every second of the experience.Surprise a 'thrill seeker' you know with a TOP GUN aerobatics flight they will never forget! A pilot license s NOT required! Our TOP GUN flights operate 7-days a week from Gympie and Caloundra airfields.

You are at 500' AGL / 120kts, but in less than 2 seconds sudden turbulence flips your aircraft on it's back and into a 45 deg nose down attitude. As the pilot in command, would YOU have the skills and confidence required to recover to straight and level flight, with minimum height loss? Would the sudden upset cause your reactions to freeze up? When you overcome the shock ('startle' effect), what is your first control input? Our Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) course will teach you how to respond to this and many other extreme aircraft flight path 'upsets' This is NOT simulator training, We expose you to realistic in-aircraft 'upset scenarios' that are only possible to teach in aerobatic rated aircraft. To learn more and to book your training course, go to our website: www.sunshinecoastaerobatics.com.au/shop-here/Upset-Attitude-Recovery-&-Spinning-Courses-p406142466 ... See MoreSee Less

The NSW Chapter of the Australian Aerobatics Club is holding a training camp at Narromine Airfield w/e of 8 June (see below message). If you are interested in taking part, we will make VH-NZT available for our current and former SCAA pilots. The more pilots we have sharing the aircraft 'ferry costs', the more cost effective the training camp becomes. If there's 3 pilots or more committed to going, I will come along to support and coach (for free!). If you are serious about getting into an 'aerobatic competition', in 2026, i.e. the QLD State Championships at Watts Bride in August, this will be an extremely valuable training camp for you, as well as having great opportunity to meet and have fun with like minded pilots. If you are keen to go, I need final numbers by Saturday 30 May 2026. Call me if you have questions. Thanks,Colin---------------Hello all,The NSW Chapter will be holding a training camp on the June long weekend at Narromine.

Congratulations to Alex Lockhart, Flynn Kuiters, Harrison Plath, Jacob Wakerley and Simon Hawkins on successfully completing our SPRT Course, and their CASA SPIN Endorsements at Sunshine Coast Aerobatics Academy. They are all working hard to complete their Flight Instructor course with BasAir at Archerfield, and we hope our SPRT will allow them pass on valuable spin prevention skills to their future students. Here are a few video clips from their training (incipient and stable spins).We specialise in SPRT, UPRT and Aerobatics training in our fantastic military style Robin R2160 / Alpha 160A.
