How It Works

What is the RFDS Plane Pull?

The RFDS will be hosting an inaugural Plane Pull fundraising event in support of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section).

Teams of 4 (minimum) to 6 (maximum) have the opportunity to pull an RFDS aircraft as far as they can across a 24-metre stretch of tarmac. 1 metre for every RFDS aircraft flying around Queensland every day!

This unique challenge provides an opportunity for your workplace, sports club, community or social group to pull together and raise vital funds for one of Australia’s most iconic and respected charities.
