The story behind the Challenge Cup Air Rally.
Our story
The Challenge Cup is hosted by Gympie Aero Club. This is the inaugural event and expectations are high for skilful displays and fun for both the pilots, co-pilots and spectators — both at Gympie and Maryborough airfields.
The Challenge Cup is designed to test pilots on the vital skills required to be exceptional. It also provides a forum to test those skills in a real and fun environment.
