Good morning Fujii! quite right, I had no idea that the flying doctors would probably arrive in a costly twin....as I am a very old (and definitely not bold) pilot, in my day when flying half in the US and half in the UK, doctors in the US of A were well known for awkward arrivals in T-tailed Bonanzas, otherwise commonly called "doctor killers".

So Australia is well ahead of most English speaking countries in terms of aviation. Question: these twins listed as being owned by the medics, are they being flown by professional pilots? or by doctors? or are the two qualifications mutually exclusive?
Hi Mary

I sent you a pm that I hope will explain how the RFDS operates its truly essential aeromedical service for folk Outback.

I'm just about to clock up 73 years and I'm the same age as my aeroplane. We both, the AUSTER and I, do some travelling each year in the GAFA whenever we can get away. It's a magic place and I miss the red dirt country from my younger years very much.

Regards

Kaz
