VH-WOA on the Rankin, NW ustralia. One of th estarter motors wouldn't, so we pushed her over to the side of the deck, had some caffeine while marek and Alan Rose brought a greeny and the bit to us. What a nice man.
L-R Alan Rose, Mick Omedei, John Ward, Marek Glinski in the cockpit.
WOA again this time on an island called Legendre, as we carried out a heli pad recce for emergency use.
John Ward in cockpit, Marek as passenger.
I was tasked to fly to the Rankin one fine Saturday. Marek briefed me that he would be out in his boat with a two way VHF radio which would be handy for coordinating rescues. He told me he would call when we were due out of Karratha.
So off we went, and shortly heard our callsign, to which Alan Rose responded.
Marek then asked, "Where are you?"
I grabbed Alan's hand away from the PTT and pressed my own, "I'm in the front!"
Marek took a few minutes to get any sense out of us, I was convulsed, how long do you wait for ATC to ask that?
