Bell man I think your knowledge of Bigfoot's locale is as good as anyones...yes he's out of flying but that's about all anyone knows for certain....typical Foot really.

Scooter Geoff was Captain B737 AN and last he emailed ( mid last year) he had a start at QF as a SO B744.

Here's a few I'm curious about;

Judy Mckenzie (my first instructor)
Stan Mobbs
Andy Dawson & Brett Jurecka ( did our Instructors Rating together)

Some of my early students from Camden in mid 80s

Dave Williams (we nearly spun in together)
Eric Chuter
R Irvin
Greg Attewell

Chuck.

Chimbu,

Eric Chuter passed away a few years ago now.

Rod Irvine was an ATC at Bankstown a few years ago, not sure if still there.

Not sure what Greg A is up to.

I was at Camden mid 80's with the guys you mentioned.

I remember Judy Mckenzie and Stan Mobbs ... very long time ago tho. Don't know where either of them would be these days but suspect that Stan might be retired.

Chimbu,

Just an update on what ftrplt posted. Rod Irvine is now working in Tamworth tower. Great bloke, I worked with him back in the early 90's when we were both ATC FDO's in Sydney.

The last I heard Stan was overseas (Europe, I think), his wife scored a job with KLM (or KLM Cityhopper) in the 90's. He was also a great bloke, he did my Grade 3 instructor test flight. I think we spent most of the flight talking about his flights in the super chook.

Scooter George "saltarkis" is a name I have not heard for years. Know the name but thats all. Cannot remember from where. Can you give any more info on this guy so my old brain might put a face to the name?

Also wondering where John Mc Kenzie, ex YPDN & YSSY rad tech circa '82 - 90? has got to.

Another that springs to mind is "never spoil a good story with fact" Rainbow ex Lae and Darwin circa '76 - '85

Question 127 pilots course - RAAF

A few weeks away from 20 years since we started!

Any of you guys out there want to say hello? I am feeling really lonely still in this outfit - think I am the last one left.

Where is Chris "Thommo" Thomson with no "P", Rick Emery, Ross Whittle - "Roger Ramjet", Kav, Fish, Dave Scarr, Snoopy, Lonno etc etc?

Regards, formerly known as the young, skinny, pimply, naive and angry "Maddog" - now old, fat, greying, disillusioned and bored...
