Pilots who worked in Gladstone QLD around 1983
Hi Guys,
Whilst sitting here in the office staying out of the torrential rain today, i thought id revisit my childhood experiences that got me into helos!
I went with my folks when i was 6ish on a flight from gladstone to heron island in an orange allouette. this was my first experience it was awesome, then we returned in a white and orange jetranger with fixed floats, ive got pics in my album of it.
anyone know who was flying up there then was it lloyds then i think, i remember sitting up fromt in the 206 and asking the pilot what that thing does (being the collective) and why so many guages in that thing in front of me! i remember not looking out the window much but just looking at the dials and controls the whole 30 mins!!
needless to say 22 years later i would be flying one for a living!. just curious who the pilots were up there and if there still around thats all, they got me hooked on these wonderful pieces of machinery.
cheers
BT
