THE Peninsula Aero Club (PAC) has been announced as the 2025 Australian Aero Club of the Year. This prestigious National Wings Award is given by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, in partnership with the Royal Aeronautical Association and Australian Flying.
In addition to having flight training schools located across four locations (Tyabb, La Trobe Valley, Barwon Heads and Warrnambool), PAC also provides valuable flight transport infrastructure for its members, guests and critical emergency services operations across the Mornington Peninsula.
As home to Australia’s first Air Ambulance service, the Angel of Mercy, PAC continues its strong heritage of putting a culture of safety and community first.
PAC’s focus on community engagements in 2025 was recognised with signature events such as the annual Toy Run, Fun Flight and the award winning Tyabb Airshow providing in-kind and financial donations and services to those most in need.
The 2026 Tyabb Airshow is on 1 March.
