So You Wanna Fly A Helicopter? Leigh Collins Base Manager for Helispirit in The Bungle Bungles talks everything Helicopters and Bungles
Show Notes

In this episode host (Andy Ireland) has a yarn at the Helicopter airfield at the Bungle Bungles with base manager Leigh Collins. Leigh's only a young fellah but does a great job of managing the operations at the famed Bungle Bungles in the Purnululu National Park W.A. We talk how you you get to be a Helicopter Pilot. How the crew live at the remote airfield and what it's like to fly over the Bungles and how much training these young guys and girls have to be able to fly us tourists all over the place. Leigh is a lovely bloke and I hope you enjoy our chat as much as I enjoyed chatting. This episode is a touch noisy with planes and helicopters doing their stuff as we speak in the park.
