The only crash up that way was a couple weeks ago, where they all survived!

Pilot is still in hospital with spinal injuries, and the pax that had to wait 8 hours for the RFDS are all out of hospital.


Was really disappointed in the media covering the story! they all attacked the RFDS at first for taking too long then complained that they could only land at certain airstrips. Obviously they expect the RFDS just to land anywhere they feel like

"Passengers had a further wait as the closest landing strip was over an hour away by road which highlights the need for more airstrips" fark me you stupid reporters you can have a million strips in WA.

Then eventually it turned into a Jim McGinty bashing story for not giving enough to the RFDS.

totally off topic but RFDS are doing a great thing so people should just be grateful and stop attacking them for not having super dooper rocket boosters that can fly them anywhere in WA within a couple minutes like certain reporters expect.
