Club gets update on Airport from outgoing CEO
We were delighted to host outgoing CEO Peter Palott in October who spoke extensively on the growth and plans for the Sunshine Coast airport. It was a fascinating talk and made us stop and think about the importance of this critical infrastructure, and also how much flying has changes over the years. Peter was clearly passionate about the role of the airport in developing our region, and the growth figures and plans for future developments, including a new runway were all very positive. On a club note.....Did you know that a certain vet in the club flew on a DC-3 (Dakota) when only 11 years old between Sydney and Brisbane...and by himself!
There's also a rumour that another member was there when the wright brothers needed a hand to get off the ground, but this is unsubstantiated. (ed).
