Phil Frawley. RAAF Hawk Instructor.
Phil has the distinction of being the Guiness Book of Records "Oldest Active Fighter Pilot".
He had this to say at the time, during 2013. As far as I am aware he still flys the Hawk at age 62 +.
‘Let’s get one thing straight. I’m not special. I’m just
myself – one who loves flying fast jets; focused on
shared thinking and positive pilot training outcomes. It’s
simple. Young pilot minds ‘get it’ when you understand
their fertile thinking. It’s the ability to identify the needs
of those around you. Communication and humility – it’s
not hard!
