Great pics Grahame. I was at BK today and taxiied past them on my way to do some circuits early in the morning from Schoies.
I hope to join the RFDS someday soon hopefully. But I have a question that I have been trying to find the answer now for some time.
Is it possible for a doctor in the RFDS to be a pilot (and hence fly the plane) at the same time? I know that the B350s and PC12s have a designated pilot and flight doctor who take no part in crossing roles.
But a friend once mentioned a couple of years ago that the RFDS also has General Practitioners who fly from town to town doing just regular clinics and checkups for people in each town. So kind of like "town-hopping" and running a clinic at each town for a day or two.
So I was kind of hoping that such a scenario would be true as I would love to enjoy the bests of both worlds combining flying with being a GP.
