In September 2008 a group of aviation enthusiasts, led by Garth Bartlett, met at Maroochydore with a view to forming an Association for owners and operators and anyone interested in the Cessna 200 series aircraft. The weather was so bad that several people had to resort to the ‘kero burner’, but 25 people met and decided to form an Incorporated Association with the purpose of promoting safe flying and furthering the technical knowledge of members while facilitating an environment favourable to forming new and lasting friendships. And so the C200 Series Association was born.
Fly Ins are held twice a year over a weekend in Autumn and Spring with participants arriving on Friday afternoon and departing with a packed lunch on the Sunday. We visit places of interest at the destination and there is often a technical session for the aviators. Coupled with a lot of getting to know you plus a bit of eating and drinking the weekends are fantastic. We hold a short meeting to update members and plan future Fly Ins.
