I have to agree that Mr Godley certainly appears to have a grasp of the 'mystique of aviation', plus he seems to speak with a small measure of openness and honesty, indeed some old school ATsB briefly shining through. But as I say, it appears that way. Maybe with the duo of Manning and Godley (with Beaker finally punted to the back of a beancounters office issuing security stickers for the carpark at Parliament House) we would turn a corner.
As for Ag Phil, he is an intelligent man with a decent sized set of plums. Now although Skid-Mark will only value RAAF types and wide body pilots, it would pay for him to listen to Phil and his friends. Ag pilots have balls the size of Harvesters and are a very skilled bunch of pilots. The notion that they are an irrelevant group and spend too much time sniffing crop pesticides is old and outdated. Those boys, and there are a few of them, are skilled and astute and also contribute greatly to our economy by performing a difficult task at times under challenging conditions.
So all in all I think it has been some months since we have seen some blue skies amongst the grey and it has been refreshing to see a few gems this week.
