The formation of DMAC dates back to 1937.

 

For a summary of club history go HERE

 

The club boasts a good cross section of flying proficiencies amongst its member ranks.

 

It operates its flying activities mainly from the following two sites:

• Power - at the Gromor farm site near Cato Ridge, between Durban and Pietermaritzburg.
• Gliding - at the SA Jockey Academy at Shongweni near Hillcrest.

 

The members are very proud of the friendly and helpful atmosphere that exists amongst their ranks and newcomers often remark on how welcome they are made to feel.

 

Both flying sites are situated in lovely rural environments and are ideal places to get away to relax from the rat race whilst at the same time enabling flyers to enjoy their hobby.
