South Otago Aero Club was again able to share the experience of flight. The South Otago High School students first had a effect of controls lesson in the club house and then went and experienced it in the air.

South Otago Aero Club was pleased to be able to enable the Owaka High School students the opportunity to experience the feeling of flight today.
Any one of these students could potentially be a pilot in the future.

It is with great sadness that we share the loss of our much loved and respected friend, club member, and past president Bill O’Connor.

Seeing Bill was a highlight for everyone. When he would turn up, you always knew you were in for a good time

Bill lived for flying, it was his life. His flying experience and advice was second to none.

The South Otago aviation community will never be the same without Bill.

So many stories still to tell, Bill.

Rest in peace.
