One of Australia's best known helicopter pilots has decided its time to hang up his commercial flying helmet and enjoy a few beers.
Today was a memorable day at Airwork Caboolture.
If the story is correct, Ian's first helicopter flight in the Oz army in the late sixties was with Tub in a Bell47.
Today was Ian's last as PIC and guess who he flew with and what type of Helicopter.... yep.... with Tub in a 47.

There are plenty of words I could use to describe Ian such as: professional/just the best/ace of the base but I prefer to use these: " a highly respected good bloke".
Thanks for your many moons of support Ian.. its been a great journey made better through knowing you.
Thanks also to MT for the prawns, XXXX and bush stories to make the day even better
