You are all missing the point here!!!!
The RFDS are a very tight ship and to prove it I quote from the newspaper
"He was the first permanent flying doctor pilot to be killed in the service since 1928. A casual pilot was killed in 1981."
I think that is the best bloody track record I have heard of in a long while.
Now sure maybe a second pilot might have stopped this accident, but then again who really knows???? I'm sure the RFDS would look at this option if they were losing more airframes...
I mean **** and F/A18 is highworkload too!!But do ya see the RAAF wanting to make it a two crew everytime they lose one???
The bottom line is you can get killed even just getting out of bed the wrong way..Nothing is safe, no matter what you do.
Brian was a FINE aviator and a really TOP BLOKE!!..You will be missed.
Cheers
