There is a photo on that site with the Nixon's in front of a Duchess & suggesting that he flew the thing. So it would appear he has some time in the Duchess & would be familiar with it.

As are most of those bible bashers - especially the ones that used to be in the outback years ago!
They are great for your industry (as in flights to remote places).

My hypothetical scenario is, you have two pilots, an 82 year old and a 23 year old, they got to talking about LOP/ROP operations. The young one, who is up on all the latest knowledge, is pulling the mixture back to LOP. The old guy, set in his ways, exclaims "you'll blow the engines up!, Fuels cheap! Run it ROP!" A scuffle ensues and the young pilot knocks the old pilots hand away, causing the mixture to go to Idle Cut Off. The old pilot not trusting the young pilot to handle asymmetric operations tries to grab the controls. Young pilot clobbers old pilot and conducts a forced landing.
(Disclaimer: I was not there, I have never met the people involved, I've never flown a twin, I mean no disrespect, I do not work for CASA, I'm not a LAME, I'm not a CPL or ATPL etc. etc.)

Well done to the guy .. Over next few days , plane will be flown out of paddock, the ground needs to dry out a little.

Using coords Taipan 22 relayed, this was the landing site:
https://www.google.com.au/maps/place...!3m1!1s0x0:0x0
Look's like the young man did a stellar job given the situation and the terrain !

Listening to the audio and warnings given to them by ATC about the possible hijack situation, I was suprised Taipan 22 were willing to set down next to the sole visible person in the paddock who was waving frantically at them. Not sure I would have been as brave...
Bet the pilot was very glad they did though!

No, they wouldn't have been armed...
Far as I could make out from the audio, the pilot got hold of someone via mobile, who notified atc that the fella waving from the grass was wearing the white hat. That message was passed on to the Navy crew before they approached him.
short flights long nights
Lot of God talk on that guys blog page....I'm going for nutter.
