Doncaster Squadron Open Night

Monday 14 October at Greythorn Bowls Club.

The Australian Air League is a youth organisation which encourages an interest in aviation as a career or as a hobby and fosters leadership skills in a fun and welcoming environment. Young people 8- 18 years are eligible to join a Squadron as a cadet and participate in the weekly meetings and regular activities.

Our cadets attend Squadron parade nights each Monday night between 7-9pm, where they take part in activities including ceremonial drill, model aircraft building, and aviation theory classes, such as Navigation, Aircraft Recognition and Aircraft Engines.

We also offer recreational camps and are actively recruiting for our band, with lessons every fortnight in drums. Another key feature of the organisation is our air activity flying days, where Squadron members are taken for joy flights and are introduced to aviation. Many of our Cadets have experienced their first flight at one of these days. More information in the flyer below.
