I'm pleased to report that FIM's still going strong. I guess that's why they invented insurance ...
One of the many important lessons I learned in the wake of the incident is that there is a
scarily large number of illiterates in aviation in Australia. I wrote an article spelling out what happened, it's available on-line, and there are
still people who talk about a 'wheels-up'! The PIC and I still laugh about it, when we catch up.
I now no longer wonder why GA in Australia is in the state it's in.
