GMAC club member, Gavin Brokenshire, who holds a Commercial Helicopter licence, took some very happy GMAC members on spectacular helicopter joyflights over our great flying site.

The helicopter was hired from Professional Helicopter Services who operate from Moorabin Airport. The helicopter is a Hughes 300C, two seater, piston engine machine with a three blade rotor head.

The flying field was closed to all RC flying during for the duration of the Heli joyflights.
