the then FAA Administrator (Admiral) Donald Engen, paid a visit to Melbourne.
He was very quick on the uptake.
On the return flight to US he made the following remark: "You know, in US, if a person is a pilot we trust them. In Australia, if a person is a pilot, you mistrust them"
Pretty perceptive for about five days in the country.
I have a dream!!
That Admiral Engen is offered the job as head of CASA with supreme authority and given one instruction; Clean out the place and put in some sensible Regulations. And given 2 years to do so.
And that is probably all it ever will be; A dream!
