David's first flight was in an Auster VH-FAF on 12 July 1957, with the lesson being effect of controls. His last commercial flight took place 34 years later, on 10 September 1991, in a TAA Boeing 727, VH-TBP. Over that period David logged more than 12,000 flying hours, flying through a great era of Australia's aviation history.
I interviewed David in 2008 at his home in Queensland, and was taken back by his great flying stories. Please check back soon for updates — Greg.
