Learnt on a C150, with the cadets. First job was mustering in a 182 near Normanton in FNQ, then ended up in Darwin for a while flying all sorts of stuff, including Metro's.

We all come from pretty humble beginnings.:)
Used work with a couple pilots with an operator in the Kimberly and Pilbara, they ended up over your way flying 777's.
To be more precise, they did the flying and I did the fixing.
Been years since I have heard of them, possibly even retired by now.

Yep, and the further you get, and the bigger the plane, the more fondly you remember those beginnings.

Originaly trained on fixed wing up to PPL. Then went on to CPL Helicopter. Owned and operated a very early serial number R22, which was replaced by a 4 seat piston type that I bought in the US. I had this one assembled in Queensland and flew it to Perth.

Grounded now with a bad ticker!
