'Wings Over the Wild West' the tales of Billy Vincent
By Merian Ellis
Friday, 16/02/2007
Time to fasten your seatbelts! Today in our last episode of Wings Over the Wild West we are going to take you on a wild ride.
Stories about pilots always involve a few crashes, near death moments and the odd aerial stunt.
Tasmanian bush pilot Billy Vincent is no different with some of his most vivid memories involving hair-raising crises, calculated risks and emergency landings on remote beaches and rough bush tracks.
Billy said that despite the risks, if you couldn't have fun flying, it wasn't worth doing.
And not even family members were safe from his antics...
The series Wings Over The Wild West was produced by Merian Ellis for the Regional Production Fund and was assisted by Guy Nicholson from Penguin, who is writing a biography about Billy Vincent.
