The Browns - Didn't they run Galaxy Flying School??

Also Emu Flying School.

A job at Security Express was almost like winning the lottery, or even a job at Kendell.

I used to fly the PA18 and the PA25 out at The 'Marsh for a while and see a lot of the aircraft from EN come down the lane for Touch and Goes. Sometimes the guys used to come an buy a can of drink from the 'Pie-cart'. One guy came over in a Duchess with a mate of his and 2 v. nice looking girls for a look at the gliders. This guy had wings, sorry, WINGS! and 3 bar epps. Looked the part but I knew him as we were both doing CPL theory together.

The Police Air Wing C172 VH-FUZ.

Graham Faux (rip) doing glide approaches with the engine REALLY shut down.

Didn't Laurie P. thump some drunk dill who tried to steal one of his aeroplanes and go for a joy ride one night?

I ferried the Super Cub from BCS to EN for a 100 hourly one day with a 40kt northerly blowing. I decended vertically onto the RWY35 threshold from about 300' a-la-helicopter, much to the mirth of the guys in the tower. I think it took me a good 10 mins to get from Westgate Bridge to EN that day.

DJ, is SLO still at Camden? I should have look for old time sake.
