from the Chair of IFFR New Zealand

Welcome to the web site for the New Zealand Section of the International Fellowship of Flying Rotarians. 
 
I extend a very warm welcome to all Rotarians, particularly those interested in aviation. I invite you join us and participate in our flying activities during the coming year. We encourage those of you who are not yet members to join IFFR. Please view our   programme for a schedule of the forthcoming events.

IFFR New Zealand is a small and active section of a worldwide organisation that  networks amongst its members.  We host visitors from the world over and consequently through this international organisation we have made many friends. In particular we have very close relationships with our fellow aviation enthusiasts from across the Tasman and we meet frequently to share our interests.

Many of our members travel the globe meeting up with other IFFR members for adventures and fellowship in   all four corners of the compass.  We delight in being able to introduce international visitors to our beautiful   country, and I would offer an especially warm welcome to those of you who may be planning to visit  New Zealand  in the future.

To introduce myself:  an aviator from the age of 19yrs when I gained my PPL. Over the years opportunity has enabled me to advance my aviation interest into a career.  I now operate a Flight Training School based at Feilding aerodrome in the Manawatu.

For me one of the pleasures I enjoy in aviation as an flight instructor  is seeing people succeed in all areas from the 16yr old who goes solo on his birthday to the student who works his way through the career system to eventually become a airline captain.

It has now been some years since I was introduced to IFFR and one of its virtues is the fellowship and friendships it has provided to Sheryl and myself.

Please enjoy surfing through our web pages, and should you wish to find out more about IFFR activities in New Zealand then please contact our Secretary or myself and we will be happy to assist.
