Shark Patrol - Aviation Students - University of South Australia

UniSA's Civil Aviation students are the eyes in the sky protecting metropolitan beach-goers from sharks this summer, as part of the annual shark patrol program run in partnership with the State Emergency Services (SES).
The UniSA shark patrols fly four times daily on weekdays from late November to April between 11am and 8pm, with the Westpac lifesaving helicopter taking over patrol duties on the weekend.

The UniSA crews fly Cessna 172S's from Parafield to Outer Harbour and down to Sellicks Beach and then from Parafield to Outer Harbour and Rapid Bay each morning, before refuelling and heading out again to complete the same two loops in the afternoon.

The patrol is a great opportunity for students with their commercial licence to build up their flying hours and give them an edge when looking for that elusive first job.

I am disgusted that these jerks keep perving on scantily clad girls on the beaches. They circled around me six times at Semaphore. Not many sharks on the goden sands boys apart from the white pointers.

Just how many shark attacks do you think these perverts have saved us from? Nil to none - they are just a noisy unwanted nuisance along our coasts.

Stop flying over peoples homes and stop buzzing the coastline.
