Dennis Tan probably qualifies and is a lovely chap.

Can't bring to mind any other pilots - I'm sure that there are more than a few - but there certainly are numerous folks of Asian descent in other areas ... uniformly pleasant folks with whom to work in my experience.

There was a Indian bloke on a TV doco a bunch of years back. Hornet driver. Can't remember his name.

What do you mean by Asian?

Born in Australia to Asian parents?
Born in Asia and emigrated to Australia?
Non Australia citizen?
Dual citizenship?
One Asian and one Aussie parent?
Other?

Now, that brings to mind a reasonably recent TV advertising campaign by the ADF .. sure that the F18 driver featured had an asian name ?

I suppose that the two questions that I'd be asking 'dreamed2fly' are simply these: Are you xenophobic? And if so, why?

If Oz is not Asian, what are they doing in the AFC Asian Cup?
