    About this ebook

    Biography of well known Australian agricultural pilot Ben Buckley of Benambra Victoria Australia who has plied his trade in Australia, New Zealand, UK and Sudan. Ben has gained notoriety in Australia over the years by contravening aviation laws for what he states as having fun. He has incurred financial penalties for doing things his way and even cancellation of his flying license. Several severely injured adults and children have Ben Buckley to thank for flying them to urgent medical treatment in often foul weather. A shire councillor for more than 25 years, Ben Buckley is dedicted to serving his fellow man. Countless Australians take joy in stating," I had my first flight with Ben Buckley."
