Sadly, the best flying job in FNQ is long gone. It was flying Ten Squadron Neptunes out of Townsville. Nine months each year with 8/8s blue, great mates to fly with, trips overseas, Anzac Day on Cocos Island, flying at 100 feet - legally, dropping the last of the RAAF depth charges, shouting our copilot beers in the Officers' Mess, coz he was too young to drink in a pub....
Best job in the world at the time.
