  1. Come with me in the F-A/18 Hornet fighter to see the many military airfields developed in Australia's Northern Territory "top end" for the RAAF & USAAF following the attack on Darwin in February 1942 by the same Japanese aircraft carrier fleet that attacked Pear Harbour in December 1941. Also, experience some maneuvers in the Hornet. Finally, enjoy a visit to famous Uluru/Ayers Rock smack in the middle of Australia. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

  3. Come with me in this Part 2 video in the Daher TBM 930 high-performance turbo-prop to continue our tour of the famous Dolomite mountains in the NE Italian Alps.

Overfly beautiful lakes. See castles & other sites as well. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.
