The Royal Victorian Aero Club, (also known as RVAC and Royal Vic), is one of the oldest flying clubs in Australia.
It was established in 1914, just a few years after the Wright brothers' historic first flight in 1903.
The club's founding members were a group of aviation enthusiasts who were passionate about the new and exciting field of aviation.
And we’re proud to carry on our lineage.
