The Royal Queensland Aero Club (RQAC)
The Royal Queensland Aero Club (RQAC)
was first formed in 1910, making it possibly the oldest aero club in the
Southern Hemisphere and one of the oldest in the world.
Australia's pioneer aviators, such as
Bert Hinkler, Sir Charles Kingsford Smith and Lores Bonney were club
members. Over the years, countless students have gained their wings at
RQAC and have gone on
to achieve successful careers with the world's airlines, as well as making
significant contributions to general aviation.
RQAC
is known for its high standard of graduates, its service to the community,
its leadership in flying training and its links to the history of aviation.
In recognition, the Royal Queensland Aero Club was awarded the prestigious
"Sword of Honour" by The Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators in 1996.
From this proud tradition in general
aviation, the AAA
has been created to train the aviators for the new millennium.
