Bush flying was the passion I had aimed for, for many years throughout school and into the work force. Offered a Flight Instructor position with my original Flight Instructor David Walker, who had started me off on my flying training up until I reached my Private Pilot Licence, was the key to beginning my aviation career.

I had thought I would fly in Africa as I had always enjoyed the African scenes on TV and films so thought being a bush pilot there would be a wonderful career. David had moved to Perth, Western Australia and had been instructing and flying a Beechcraft Baron for an earthmoving company. He decided to open a flying school in Port Hedland and so asked me to instruct for him if I had obtained my Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).

With this offer and being in the process of completing my CPL, it was immediately accepted. Western Australia bush flying for an earthmoving company then parachute dropping in Darwin and onwards to Papua New Guinea gave me the bush flying skills I yearned for. Upskilling back in Australia gave me increased skills for instrument flying leading to commuter flying in Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

This book is continued with Aviation Adventures in Papua New Guinea expands on the 11 years spent flying in the tropics.
