There is no runway lighting. Currently there is no fuel available at Gympie Aerodrome.
No RPT services operate out of Gympie ( since the late 1980's) because of the Winter
early morning fog . The area is very picturesque, but we do not have a lot of
flat country suitable for an airfield, so when this was constructed in the
1960's, this was the best compromise site.
Gympie is a great place to fly, the local coast is spectacular from Fraser Island in the north through Noosa, Coolum, Caloundra, Bribie to Moreton and the Gold Coast in the South. Lots of
people from the Sunshine Coast use our field because the costs are lower and its a very pretty area.
It's used
regularly for Navigation exercises and RAAF Caribou do use the field at night on occasions for night vision landings.
So if you live in the area and are interested in flying come along to a meeting. If you already fly, then come in to Gympie. A more friendly relaxed bunch of people you won't be likely to meet.
