DWF Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yes. Well done Dave and his support crew. A great achievement. We were fortunate enough to have them stay with us overnight when passing through Esperance. It was great to meet up with Dave and the team and hear of their exploits. You can review the flight here: https://www.onawingandachair.org.au/ By the time they got here they were a bit travel weary and anxious to get home but were delayed a further 4 or 5 days along the way due to bad weather - but got back to Tooradin in the end after 38 days away from home. The purpose of the flight was to demonstrate that just because you have a disability doesn't mean you can't achieve great things. A truely inspirational person and achievement.
