Maryborough's aviation history is both storied and inspiring. It all began on 7th June 1890, when Miss Gladdy Van Tassell made a daring balloon ascent and parachute jump, marking the region's first recognised flight. The spirit of aviation continued to soar with the landing of the first powered fixed-wing aircraft, a B.E. 2 Biplane, piloted by Capt. P.W. Snell on 3rd August 1920. During the war years, Maryborough became a training ground for thousands, with the aerodrome expanding to accommodate military operations. This rich heritage is woven into the fabric of Aquila Estate, celebrating the pioneering pilots and aviation enthusiasts who laid the groundwork for our community.
