The RFDS Queensland Section’s 20 strong fleet is kept in the sky by our team of 70 highly skilled pilots. They are all the best at what they do, but how their stories and how they came to their careers in aviation are often completely different. In the Routes to the Runway series we’ll hear some of the stories and get to know some of the pilots who help keep the Doctor flying. Charleville Senior Base pilot, Nick Tully grew up on a station between Quilpie and Windorah in Western Queensland. As one of 10 children, the Flying Doctor was frequently called upon. Nick now flies for the Service in Charleville, close to where he grew up and often flies people he’s known his whole life. Listen to the podcast to hear more of his story and what it’s like to fly for the service.
