Hi, my name is Ed and I’m the pilot and team Captain for team “Turbo Safari”. I took part in the 2015 Outback Air Race and my team (then called Robin Safari after the type of aircraft we flew) raised $15,400 for the RFDS. Having lived on the Outback in both the Northern Territory and the North of WA I really appreciate the need for a service like the RFDS. I’m looking forward to the team raising more than $20,000 for the 2018 event and sharing the experience of flying nearly 5850 nautical miles (10,840kms) over our fantastic country with my fiends and colleagues.

I am Kathy, a positive person previously a high school teacher loving history and people. I have visited Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) museum in Alice Springs and looked into the history of how it all began. Since then I have been in awe of what this organization achieves and how many lives depend on them each year and seen first hand their work. I am therefore extremely proud and privileged, to join in this truly worthwhile cause raising funds for the Royal Flying Doctor. I work with Ed, and Duong.
