Manning River Aero Club

Manning River Aero Club is a not-for-profit flying club based at Taree Airport on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. The club was formed in 1960, when it moved its training base from the Old Bar airstrip to the then new Taree Airport, and first trained pilots in a DH-82 Tiger Moth. Today it offers flight training and scenic flights over the Manning Valley and Barrington Coast.
