    My son used to be a postie. He had no worries about being hit though.

    He delivered in this.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Did he actually land or just drop the mail out by parachute, in the outback I'm guessing?

    He had to land as he also had to collect outgoing mail and take back to the post office..

    I did the run with him once, which made it easier as I would do the getting out of the plane and deliver pick up mail.

    Below is a pic at one of the letter boxes and a sample of the landing strips. Sometimes there were animals on or near so we would buzz them and do a fly around to land.

    All up we went to about 32 stations. Took about 6 hours.

    No. His name is Dan and he has never worked for the RFDS.
