RFDS Presentation
Sat, 22 May 2010 9:22am
At the RFDS open day at Bankstown Airport, Worldflight Australia presented the RFDS with a cheque for $20,000. This brings the total funds raised since 2001 to $140,000. Thanks to all the crew on both Australian teams for their efforts and dedication during World Flight 2009. Our funds this year have been allocated to the RFDS Fly Around Clinic [FAC]. They covered all the costs for a recent clinic conducted in April whereby several specialists were flown around remote areas. Over the course of five days, the FAC visited eight outback communities and stations including Yunta, Wirrealpa and Innamincka (in remote South Australia) Naryilco and Hungerford (in far western Queensland) and Reola, Marrapina and Ivanhoe (in outback NSW). Each night the FAC returned to Broken Hill for refuelling and for sterilisation of equipment.

World Flight Australia Team 737 Hobart arrived back into Sydney last night with one engine and a very tired crew. 45 legs, 44 airports, god knows how many miles and many more stats to come. We have all had a ball once again and wouldn't miss it for the world. It's not too late to donate to the cause. If you'd like to contribute something to the RFDS, please follow the links to donate to the cause. I'd like to finish off by thanking all the people who made the trip possible. All the crew, all the sponsors and supporters including Fran, Joan, Jess, Jill, Glenda, Channel 10, The Hobart Mercury, 7HOFM, Cripp's Bakehouse, Olive Tree Catering and the Bellerive Yacht Club, Canal Pizza and Cockpit Builder dot com. Last but not least a very big thanks to Nic "SimGod Jnr" D'Alessandro and Neil "Piano Keys formally known as TOGA" Brown at SIMSATION for taking their time and the sim out of action for the entire week so we could complete the trip that we love so much. Until next year!
