Interesting Show On Tv

[willedoo]

Just finished watching Landline on the ABC. They had an interesting bit on women pilots, featuring charter operators from William Creek and Birdsville.

 

It's up on their website as well.

Good one Willie - I'll get the missus to look at this on the big screen ... she'll love it.

It was a good show, Dazza, worth watching. There must be a fairly big demand for Lake Eyre flights these days. I haven't been to William Creek in almost 30 years, things seem to have changed a bit with tourism since then.

I was at William Creek a few months ago, it's no bigger than it was on my first visit 8 years ago, but the strip is now sealed and Trev seems to own every piece of real estate! Glad to see someone making money from aviation for once. Talia is a brilliant young woman and I'm proud to know her.

Interesting to see the Oldfield name come up, too: we were reasonably au fait with the country up around Maree and very much associate it with that region.

 

As a semi-aside, when would the strip have been hard sealed - anyone know?

It wasn't sealed in July 2010 as the great big nick in my Foxbat's prop would attest. A minor blip in a good trip.

In fact there is an overload of flying stuff on TV tomorrow night and it's going to be hard to choose. The above program is from 7:30 to 8:30 pm, while on Channel 9, at least in Melbourne, at 8:00 to 9:00 pm, there is a film "Boeing's Killer Plane", about the Lion Air 737 Max crash, followed by "Sully".
