Taking off in Outback Australia

Departing a small dirt airstrip next to a station in the New South Wales desert, Outback Australia. I took this video while hitching a ride with the mail plane for the day.

@AdamAviation Thanks for the luck ! Are you in Australia ?

@Doodlebuggie95 glad to help. Im 16 also and started my flight training recently. I want to get into some bush flying after I get my commercial licence, its really just to get your hours up cos the pay would not be very good. Anyway good luck in your searching

@AdamAviation Hey thanks !! I am used to the hot temps . That's about an average temperature in my area . I am afraid though that if I go there I may not want to come back home . lol It's just so beautiful ! Thank you again , I will look up those things . Again , I am about to be 16 , so I have a few years to decide . :D

@Doodlebuggie95 Australia's great! But of course to work here you need relevant visa credentials like a right to work and possibly permanent residency. You could also find a flying company to sponsor you and you would get a working visa through them although it is unlikely unless your highly experienced. Also be prepared for high tempretures which can reach high 40's (celsius) on most days in Central Australia. If you wanna know more look into it, check out airservices australia or other sites.

I would really like to be a bush pilot . But the only places that I know of that are in need of them is Canada , Alaska , USA , and Australia . I thought about going to Alaska but I don't think I like the cold weather . Australia is somehow sticking to me , but I don't know about citizenship in your country . If someone could tell me a little about Australia I would be so happy !! thanks .
