About Us


The Wanganui-Manawatu Gliding Club have operated from Taonui Aerodrome, Feilding (NZFI) for more than 25 years now.

The club operates every weekend, both Saturday and Sunday (and Public Holidays) - weather permitting.

The public are welcome to simply drive up and talk to one of our friendly and experienced club members to arrange a 'Trial Flight' for that very day in GNP, our Grob Twin Astir two-seat primary trainer, or GDG, our state-of-the-art, high performance DG1000 two-seat club glider.

Generally, you will get to go flying within the hour !!

If you are interested in learning to glide or simply having the experience of a lifetime being towed by a 1960's topdressing aeroplane and then relaxing in the delightful peace of soaring amongst the clouds and hunting for thermal activity then we have a deal for you.....

Come out to Taonui Aerodrome, Feilding, New Zealand.

Our thanks to Jim Gale from Alburquerque, New Mexico, USA who visited recently and took some stunning photographs of his glider flight. He has graciously given us permission to use his photos on our site.
