about us
VISITING PILOTS AND PILOTS NEW TO THE LAURIETON AND PORT MACQUARIE AREA
The mid north coast has a host of great flying sites well over a dozen great flying sites including both coastal and inland flying sites.
One of the Club’s aims is to help foster good airmanship and help new pilots move from the School environment to the Club environment. If you are a new pilot, please contact a Safety Officer or a Committee Member from the list below, and we will be more than happy to let you know when we are meeting next, and who might be around to help you into the air. There are links on the MNCF website that provide important information about launch and landing paddocks.
Other mid north coast flying sites
To find the location of launches and landing areas download the kmz file and upload it into google earth and you will have all the locations at your fingertips.
Seal Rocks NE
A perfect spot for a floater. The launch is a grassy park opposite the shop in Seal rocks. from here you can hop over the back onto bigger hills and cruise up the coast toward smiths lake and back.
Booti Booti – pacific palms NE
Probably the best NE coastal site in NSW. A spectacular headland with some of the best surf beaches for a morning dip. Fly down toward seal rocks if you need a cross country feel. A key and 4×4 is required.
Nellies SW
An awesome inland site that provides some of the most enjoyable winter and spring flying relatively close to the coast. Absolutely fantastic when a weak seabreeze and westerly are doing battle. Flights back to the coast are very enjoyable.

Harrys Lookout E
A lookout above shelly beach in Port Macquarie. Great for a quick fix . If the direction is right a trip south to the lighthouse and back is easy when flying something with a little performance.
A Key is required for the gate.
Yarras NE
A good inland hill with loads of potential. It’s a little out of the way so does not get flown a great deal, but is certainly worth the effort. Some big flights have been had from here.
Racecourse NE
Great fun if you like flying whilst rubbing your belly along the hill and landing wherever you like. Very smooth lift on this grassy headland
A miniature stanwell park type of headland. Awesome smooth lift.
