Any truth to the rumour that Shlongair has advertised for pilots in Darwin?
bashedcrab,
Kim Chick is still there. Not sure if Kimberley still gets a run however it has been utilised as far away as Cape York by some KNX graduates. Lady in a boat was still doing a roaring trade when I left a few years ago (got some good pics to prove it too), although Tawny Port was a close second. Circa 2000/01 Triple J went to the airwaves on 100.1 (no ADF action but at least you didn’t have to listen to 6WR Warringarri on the ground as well!).

Aerlik,
A word of advice. Be careful how you refer to people. I learn't very early not to bag out people's misfortunes because it may one day just happen to you. You may have heard the saying, "there's those who have and those that will (or have the potential to)". I've never landed with the gear up or crashed an aeroplane fortunately but there have been multiple occasions where I had the potential to come unstuck and still do. The "310 bender" you refer to I happen to know and I also know he had a sh!t of a time getting back into the industry and commend him for the tenacity to get back on the horse and get where he has.
To all the "experts" out there that see fit to bag out your collegues, just take a minute to think if you would like to be the subject of a PPRUNE thread.
Dave Incognito, thanks for the info. I miss Kim Chicks smiling face, must give her a ring. I also miss that "Lady in the Boat" !!
Cheers and happy flying up there guys...
