REMINDER - AIRMAN AIRCREW REUNION 2026 .... IP: 58.104.160.228 Posted on 22/4/2026 at 07:20:38 AM by Lance Haslewood
REMINDER - AIRMAN AIRCREW REUNION 2026 ....
It's on Friday and Saturday 23-24 October at C.ex Coffs, 2-6 Vernon Street. COFFS HARBOUR. NSW. 2450.
Just seven months to go and it's open to anyone irrespective of rank, category or mustering. Similarly, non-service friends and acquaintances are also most welcome to attend.
If you intend going and have yet to register, please do. The event is to be held in Coffs Harbour which is an ideal location and midway between Brisbane and Sydney, which hopefully, will attract a solid attendance.
Allan Harris (LOADM) has been busy organising the reunion. He has seconded AIRCDRE Jack Fanderlinden AM, CSC, AFC Ret′d as guest speaker. Jack has accrued over 8,500 hours and he has captained many aircraft types including rotary wing, single jet and multi-engine aircraft. I am sure Jack will have some interesting tales to tell.
In addition to Jack, we are anticipating having a loadmaster from 37 Squadron come along to give a brief talk on happenings and current training at the squadron.
Details of the Reunion may be found on the Airman Aircrew Website along with, inter alia, the registration form and costings. To aid in planning, it is important that we get the registration forms in as soon as possible.
Accommodation options including caravan parks are available on the AA website.
Questions or queries; please give Al Harris a call on 0412 608 817 or email at airman.aircrew.reunion.2026@airmanaircrew.com.au.
