Warwick commenced flying in 1969 at the age of 19 and purchased his first Tiger Moth in 1973.
After obtaining his commercial pilots licence he flew light twin engine aircraft doing night
freight services within Australia and New Guinea, this led Warwick into bush pilot airways in
North Queensland flying twin engine turbo prop aircraft into Queensland Island resorts.
From there Warwick joined Trans Australian Airlines better known as TAA. During this time Warwick
immensely enjoyed flying the Douglas DC9, a twin engine jet carrying 100 passengers which was able
to go into just about every corner of the Australian continent. The DC9 was the last of (along with
the Boeing 727) classic jet airliners. Also Warwick flew the A300 Airbus, the first wide body jet
to operate in Australia domestically capable of carrying 345 passengers.
Almost thirty years from when Warwick started flying he is now able to fullfil his long time dream.
Back enjoying the Tiger Moth
at the grass root end of flying, back to the days of being young and carefree full of enthusiasm
and loved flying for what it is FUN and FREEDOM.
