What about 'Chopper Squad'?

Even Jerry's Bell 47 in Skippy was way cool. (Although I was always distracted by Clancy, Liza Goddard)

Tony Bonner makes a re-appearance in an Aussie Classic, Skyways

And of course while watching those classics, the ads were the best.

TAA1, TAA2,Ansett
, Qantas1, Qantas2


Australian Classics!

All stations Coopers Crossing, Mike Sierra Foxtrot

Who could forget The Flying Doctors ?

Sadly the aircraft used in the show was not retained in Australia and was sold in Malaysia during 2005 after a stint with Seair here in QLD.

How could I forget the old GAF Nomad?!?!?!?!

Mmmm, Rebecca Gibney and Lenore Smith. Two more distractions in a show with a plane in it.

Thank you for bringing to our attention there Mr. Murray.

IIRC The Angels did a film clip of one of their songs (can't for the life of me remember which one it was!) alongside the runway at HMAS Albatross and had A4 Skyhawks doing touch 'n' go's right next to them as they were playing.

Surely someone will remember which one it was?

And ofcourse, there's U2's 'Beautiful Day' film clip which is, with the aid of special effects, a cracker! Filmed at Paris CDG I believe.

Well while were at it, who could forget the classic 'Dreams' by Van Halen featuring the Blue Angels in their A4's pre-F18s.
