We are pleased as punch to have received a record number of applications for this year’s Swetman Aviation Education Fellowship.

The Fellowship was established in 1989 by Flight Lieutenant Ronald Swetman DFC DFM, RAFVR (Retd) to foster aviation education and interest among youth in WA for purposes such as flying training, an aviation event for professional development in the sphere of aviation education or other purposes which further an interest in aviation.

This year we included an early bird prize for the first five applications received, for a Macchi simulator experience at RAAFA’s Aviation Heritage Museum, or a privately operated 747 simulator.

Tristan Long was one of the lucky five who enjoyed a Macchi simulator experience with our fabulous instructor Steve.
