Who Are We?

The Airtourer Association is a group of enthusiasts for the Australian designed Airtourer Aircraft. A related but separate organisation is the Airtourer Co-operative which owns the intellectual property of the Airtourer design and is responsible for ongoing airworthiness. The Airtourer Co-operative has the support of the Airtourer Association and is included in the web site. Please explore our site and share our enthusiasm for a great little aeroplane.

Farewell Colleen Murray

The Association was saddened to learn of the passing of Colleen Murray on 19th January 2012. Colleen and husband Jack were both pilots and active members of the Association and frequent visitors to our fly-ins for many years. Colleen was Association Treasurer from 1999 till 2008. 

Colleen's funeral was held on Friday 27th January and was attended by a number of Airtourer friends.

Our thoughts go out to Jack and the family.

President's Safari - 2011

The annual President's Fly-In was held over the weekend of 23rd to 25th September. This year was a little different with a mini-safari rather than a fixed location. This was in response to feedback from the membership. The participants gathered at Deniliquin in NSW where we were welcomed by local Airtourer Association member Gary Coote and the Deniliquin aeroclub. Next day, after a tour of the town, and lunch provided by the aeroclub, it was off to Mungo Lodge, a 4 1/2 star resort in the NSW outback. The final day was at Hay on the Murrumbdigee River with visits to the historic goal and railway station to see the exhibition on the WW II internment and POW camp. 

An busy and enjoyable weekend blessed by good weather and great company. Full report in the the next Airtourer Association Newsletter.
