Steve & Grant recording live with David Pilkington at Tooradin

While doing a live broadcast from Tooradin Airport (YTDN), we were joined by David Pilkington, an excellent aeronautical engineer & well known aerobatic pilot. David tells us about how he got into flying and his career as an engineer including his work on the GAF Nomad. We also discuss David’s recent award of the FAI’s Paul Tissandier diploma for his contributions to aerobatics.

After the interview, David took Grant for an aerobatic flight in his Super Decathlon which was a great excuse to be flying inverted :)
