Welcome to Sutherland Shire Sport Flying Association (SSSFA)

SSSFA is one of Sydney’s largest clubs for radio controlled aircraft, with over 100 members.

The Club has two fields in southern Sydney, one at Garawarra and the other at Heathcote.

Garawarra Field (the club’s main field) is located off the Old Princes Highway, just past the Woronora Dam turn off south of Waterfall. The most popular days are Tuesday, Thursday and the Weekends at Garawarra. Flying is permitted seven days a week between 8 am until dark.

If you are interested in learning to fly model aircraft come and visit our fields and book an introductory lesson with our qualified Instructors.

If you have a desire to get involved with model aviation or would just like to have a look you will find us at our Garawarra Field most week days and weekends.

It is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of long-time member of SSSFA Tony Small.

Tony was a member of SSSFA before moving to Albury some years ago. Tony had a minor car accident in the local shopping centre carpark about six weeks ago, although not physically injured he was admitted to hospital. He remained in the Albury Base hospital till last week when he was transferred to the palliative care unit of the Mercy Hospital. Tony died in the early hours of last Sunday morning.
Tony was an extremely active of the SSSFA and the Twin Cities Model Aero Club in Albury. Although Tony was not a model builder, he was an extremely talented pilot and many club members were taught to fly by Tony. In recent years here in Albury Tony would at the flying field every day having converted totally to electric flying. I will certainly miss Tony; we both shared an interest in aviation and world history which resulted in long conversations at the flying field. As I noted Tony was an exceptional pilot and carried out the test flights on all my aircraft, had Tony not carried out those flights several of my aircraft would not have survived.
Tony will certainly be missed by the members of TCMAC here in Albury.
