And another one

About 1974
Flew his 172 ( might have been 182 ) all the way from near the Kimberley's to Dalby SE Qld.

He was picked up there and brought to AF to learn to fly.

Did so without much effort but the exams were a pain for him.
Licence in hand and home he went!

He made the national news for something completely different a few years later.
