Mittagong Airfield NSW

Mittagong Airfield in NSW was constructed in 1944 by the Royal Australian Airforce as part of the defence of Australia.

Located in the stunning NSW Southern Highlands, Mittagong Airfield is privately owned and maintained by Mittagong Aero Club (formerly known as the Berrima District Aero Club).  Funded and maintained entirely by the club’s members, the airfield serves the important aviation needs of the Southern Highlands community.

It is used by the Rural Fire Service during bushfire emergencies, aero-medical flights, non-urgent medical transfers (e.g. Angel Flights), by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, by the Defence department for training activities, as a base for power and gas line aerial safety survey work and by visiting aircraft (for business and tourism).
