Two Sisters Make History

I have heard along the grape vine that two Barossa Valley Sisters will give most blokes a run for their money flying choppers.....


Recently stared on SA's Channel 9 Postcards.
One of the girls is certified by CASA as Australia's Youngest Female Commercail Helicopter Pilot.
Younger one just gaining her licence last year from Kestrel Aviation.

(ps. i am one of them - telling the world about us!! we are proud of our achievements)

Just my luck to be retiring....this is progress of the best kind!

To think of all the horrible sights I have shared a cockpit with.

Why did I not immigrate to Oz all those years ago when I was thinking about it?

I bet old Ned will be down there frothing over doing a photo shoot!

Well, well, I think it must be time the RotorHeads did a trip to the Barossa? Don't worry girls, were all house trained & always on our best behaviour with female company

Looking at some of the helicopter pilots I encounter in the UK, I must say you girls are a GREAT improvement!

Clearly they didn't have to do a spelling test for their CPLs (stared and commercail)

And Sasless, I assume you meant emigrate not immigrate.

Sorry but it's been a long and tedious sort of day.
