There and Back...almost there!

Friend, Qantas pilot, Australian Aviation contributor and now, adventurer, Owen Zupp passed through Bankstown today on his
There and Back' round Australia flight in a Jabiru 230 to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

He was in Canberra yesterday where the magazine did an air-to-air shoot with him (http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/...0017537&ref=mf), and he resumes his trip tomorrow when he flies from Mittaging to Toowoomba via Maitland and Tamworth, before ending his journey back in Bundaberg on Sunday.

You can see where Owen's been and follow the rest of his journey on his website (http://thereandback.com.au/), and if you're in a position to do so, please donate to the cause.

Here's some pics from Bankstown today...

Cheers

The PCDU podcast has Owen contributing frequently and in an upcoming episode he (Owen) is doing a recap of the whole "there and Back" experience.

He's fascinating to listen to and this is even before this latest adventure.

What a fantastic initiative, and I do wish Owen all the best!

What time did he land at YSBK yesterday? I was up doing circuit training yesterday, and heard a Jabiru callsign a few times on the radio.

Hi all, did you see that Owen has a new format for his There and Back website? Check it out: www.thereandback.com.au

Looks really slick.

Cheers
