  • Join myself (Ash) and Michael as we interview a local aviation veteran. Dave Holbourn flew C130s and various other aircraft in the RAAF and subsequently became a 747 Captain with Cathay Pacific! After a forced retirement at the stipulated age, Dave struggled with retirement blues before finding a new purpose in life - teaching student pilots in his state of the art Elite Simulator.
    Full Length interview available here:

    Dave recounts many of his best stories from an illustrious career that spans nearly 60 years. He also put Michael through his paces on the VFR into IMC exercise on the Simulator, a valuable learning experience!

      Thanks Chris, Dave was great fun to interview!
      The full length of the unedited interview was well over an hour and these are just the highlights. I’m sure he’ll send that one to you as soon as we get it finished!

    That was a great video, just wish I’d seen some of the instruction he was giving. Seems like a great guy.

    Great video, just junk the background noise/music/whatever it was. This guy deserves full attention.

      Disagree with you. The whole thing was very well done. I would not change a thing. It all complemented really well.

      @@tonywright8342 I guess it's just the 'new norm' nowadays; thinking about only today and not the longevity of this documentary. In years to come the backing 'music' will only date poorly. But I sincerely appreciate the quality of the people within this video, it's good.
