Investigators examine the wreckage of the Merlin glider of the Canberra Gliding Club, which crashed on 27 December 1959 when its wing detached soon after casting off from an aero tow. Pilot killed. The wing strut to fuselage attachments were inadequate, as the result of a rebuilt after an earlier accident. The unregistered glider first flew in 1943 and had made several thousand flights before the fatal final rebuild. Gliding was unregulated in 1943 with no registration or type approvals required. When gliding became regulated in the 1950s, existing gliders did not have to comply.

Tiger Moths used for agricultural flying were fitted with roll bars in an effort to protect pilots. They continued to suffer a high accident rate and from December 31, 1964 were banned from ag operations.

Cootamundra's location midway on Sydney-Melbourne railway line made it the final stop on the 1934 UK-Australia air mail service. Flying mail direct to these major cities was seen as a threat to the railways, which were owned by the states and unionised. Butler Air Transport DH84s picked up the mail from Qantas at Charleville. The arrival of Empire flying boats on the route in 1938 ended Cootamundra's (and Charleville's) role.

Cootamundra's location midway on Sydney-Melbourne railway line made it the final stop on the 1934 UK-Australia air mail service. Flying mail direct to these major cities was seen as a threat to the railways, which were owned by the states and unionised. Butler Air Transport DH84s picked up the mail from Qantas at Charleville. The arrival of Empire flying boats on the route in 1938 ended Cootamundra's (and Charleville's) role.

Masling Airlines was based in Cootamundra, which was one of the towns to lose air services after the withdrawal of DC-3s from regional routes. Third-level airlines such as Masling filled the void. It ceased operations in 1983 and Cootamundra no longer has scheduled air services.

The Fu-24 was designed by John Thorp whose work included the Piper PA28 Cherokee and the Thorp T-18. The prototype was built in the US to a New Zealand specification. Assembly was initially undertaken in New Zealand using US-supplied kits. From 1961 aircraft were entirely built in NZ.

The Masling base at Cootamundra around the time the company was expanding into third-level airline services. It was a Cessna agent at a time when Cessnas and Pipers were sold like cars with dealerships in many large towns.
