    CAC Winjeel at Donnington Airpark

    This is the CAC CA-25 Winjeel, an Australian-built three-seat training aircraft from 1955, that visited the military muster at Donnington Airpark. Courtesy of the FNQ Aviation Museum! With me in the back seat and David in the front seat, our pilot flew around Lake Ross, then a scenic route around a former World War 2 airbase, then some wingovers and buzzing the airpark. What a view!

    North American T-6 Texan (SNJ) over Donnington Airpark

    This is the North American T-6 Texan (in US Navy colours, so it's an SNJ version) of Brisbane Biplanes that visited the military muster at Donnington Airpark. With me in the back seat, Pilot Luke flew around Mount Elliot Maverick-style, then looped, rolled, and buzzed the airpark. Now that was something! Look at this view!

    Nanchang CJ-6 over Donnington Airpark

    This is a Chinese-built trainer prop warbird, and I was among those who flew in its back seat at Donnington as pilot Lance Ross of the Red Star pilots performed some aerobactics. Whoa, that was wild! This is the same Nanchang that was in Mareeba Aerodrome that I saw in 2013 before it closed down. Now it flies still. That's quite a conclusion to that story!

    Stealth and the Aces of Oceania: Torai Kikka

    A film I made for the second 2013 YWAM Youth Street's Got Talent show in Townsville. A massive 13 years ago!

    The plot is… “When the Space Pirates team up with a new enemy, it's up to Stealth and a team of elite fighter pilots of the World Alliance Military to find and destroy their terrifying new weapon...”

    My Papua New Guinea Outreach Trip - February 2017 - Morobe Province

    It was one to remember forever. From Gurney Airport to Alotau. From Milne Bay Province to Oro Province. From the most isolated regions on the planet to the city of Lae. We restored hundreds of lives and assisted many more.

    Exploring More Street Libraries! (w/ Into The Stars, by James Rosone)

    Hey, everybody! I'm back with a follow-up from the last video where I explored the Street Libraries of Townsville, QLD. On that day, I helped deliver "Into The Stars," the first book of the epic sci-fi series, Rise of the Republic! Now, I'm back to tell you what happened to that last book I was reserving for a very unique location. Sit back and watch as my journey took me all the way to Atherton, QLD and beyond!
