HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The Royal Flying Doctor Service celebrates its 78th birthday today. While most Australians are aware of the invaluable aerial evacuation service provided by the RFDS, very few will ever need a ride on one of their planes. I, on the other hand, have been unfortunate enough to need their services twice: my eldest son was evacuated to Perth after being born two months premature; and my youngest son was evacuated to Perth after nearly losing an eye in a surfing accident. Thanks to the RFDS both are fine.
