Aerotows at Benalla are by 2 Pawnees, 1 Callair and a Ballanca Scout. There are three club two-seaters for training and checks and a fleet of single seat fibreglass gliders for hire to members. The club house is fantastic, second to none in Australia, and the members are friendly and welcoming. You'll enjoy your stay at the Gliding Club of Victoria.

The centre of the township of Benalla is only 1 kilometre from the airfield so access to shops, services, accommodation and activities is close at hand. Benalla is on the main rail link between Melbourne and Sydney and is a stop for the Very Fast Train service between the two state capitals. The adjacent freeway means an easy two hour road trip to Victoria's capital city of Melbourne.
The Gliding Club of Victoria is located on the Benalla Airport, 200km North of Melbourne via the Hume Highway.
