Where have you been based during your career?
This may have been done previously. Thought it was getting a bit quiet on Dunnunda. I myself have only been flying for a living since 1994, heres my collection. Mostly all over at least 1 month duration.
Australia
Maud Creek Airstrip Katherine Gorge N.T.(2 occasions)
Tindal Airport Katherine N.T.( three occasions)
Darwin Airport N.T. (on several occasions)
Oenpelli Arhnemland N.T.
Halls Creek W.A.
Ngukurr Arhnemland N.T.
Nhullunbuy,Gove Airort Arhnemland N.T.
Smith Point Coburg Peninsula N.T. ( short stint)
Overseas
Tapachula ,Chiapas MEXICO
Tocumen Airport, Panama City,PANAMA
Manly Airport, Kingston JAMAICA
Sangster Airport, Montego Bay JAMAICA
Just realised this may compromise some people's anomymity (spelling). My appologies to those who may be affected, I myself am a quite conspicous chap.

Well Mr Lorry go back to the long grass...
Me tinks its more a way of showing everyone which way careers have been developed, great for wannabes to see what people have been through, etc... from the cadet through to the GA veteran. I've seen blokes go from meat bombing to Qantas so I know I for one am interested in the thread.
Now go get back in the 207 and do another lap of Jim Jim falls or better yet go for a swim in Sandy billabong...
